A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) is a UK-wide programme that helps businesses improve competiveness and productivity.
KTP projects have enabled business to benefit from the knowledge, technology and skills that reside within UK universities for over 40 years.
A KTP could help you improve your business performance, achieve innovative solutions to challenges and develop technology to drive growth within your organisation.
If you’re a company looking to benefit from business support and funding that provides you with knowledge and skills from academic experts and specialists, a Knowledge Transfer Partnership at Birmingham City University (BCU) could be the solution you’re looking for.

Our academic experts and specialists will mentor and guide your KTP Associate and ensure your project delivers the agreed tangible benefits.
You will receive the business support you need for the duration of your KTP project.
