Research and Development

At the University of Huddersfield we know the importance of good working relationships, whether it’s with our students, staff or industry. We have a record of excellent research across our institution and are committed to the highest standards of research and development on behalf of external organisations.

We understand how vital research can be for businesses hoping to stay ahead of their competition and that’s why we share our expertise and knowledge with them to help them grow. Approximately three-quarters of our research is regarded as international standing or better, which highlights our commitment to delivering cutting edge research.

By forming a partnership with the University of Huddersfield, you can expect to enhance and augment your internal capabilities or access specialist knowledge and expertise.

Through such interaction, your business or organisation can "locate and acquire" new expertise and insights to improve your products, processes and people. The resulting research might be collaborative with the University and business or organisation working alongside each other, or the University may be contracted to undertake a particular piece of work.

Our committed team is available to discuss, refine and define your research needs. There are numerous ways in which you can engage with the research of the University, which range in scale from Student Placements, PhD Sponsorship, through Collaborative Research to Strategic Partnerships. We will identify and manage the contact with academic researchers who will be able to work with you, and identify the most appropriate ways in which you can work with the University.
