Utilising our Knowledge

The University of Bradford has a wealth of expertise in its students, graduates and staff. Our academic Schools reflect the breadth of our knowledge.  You can search for academic expertise through our Business Experts Directory.

We have established a number of multi-disciplinary, cross-school research and knowledge transfer centres working at the leading edge of research and innovation. Building on over 40 years of research activity, the centres deliver world-class research through collaboration with a range of universities, companies and organisations worldwide.  All have impressive track records of research council funding, research studentships, and working with industry and business.  Each centre is aligned to one of 5 key industry clusters:

• Social and Community
• Healthcare Technologies
• Advanced Materials
• Digital
• Sustainable Living.

Our academic staff can carry out research on your behalf, undertake a project for you or offer training or advise on strategic matters. This can be done through individual consultancy or a contract for a defined piece of work.

We can offer you a number of affordable student and graduate placement options matching your needs to the individual or we can help you find a student or graduate to fill a vacancy in your company.
