Whatever your sector, size or type of organisation, there are lots of ways to engage with our students – via employment opportunities or by supporting student learning, either financially or with placement opportunities.

Our students and graduates are highly sought after – and can bring a wealth of knowledge, energy and enthusiasm to your organisation. Here are just some of the ways you could benefit from supporting and working with them.

## PhD sponsorship

Sponsoring a PhD helps to support our research and provides valuable outcomes for your organisation – the solution to a business challenge and the embedding of knowledge and expertise.

## CASE studentships

These studentships support mutually beneficial research collaborations between academic and partner organisations while providing the student with first-rate industrial research training.

## Research Associate and Postdoctoral contracts

Our PhD graduates have a wealth of knowledge and expertise that you can tap into. By guiding and supporting their ongoing research, together you can address your pressing business challenges.

## PhD and postdoctoral placements

Hosting a PhD or postdoctoral placement allows you to you bring a new perspective to your business while providing invaluable industrial experience to a highly-motivated and high-potential research student.

## Internships, placements and graduate opportunities

We are among the country’s top 10 universities for graduate prospects.
