Birmingham’s strength lies in the spectrum of research undertaken here and the opportunities that exist for collaborations to spring up between sympathetic and diverse subject areas. 
This encourages a spirit of curiosity that not only fosters internal collaborations, but extends to collaborations with national and international institutions, partnerships with business and industry as well as knowledge transfer activities.
Knowledge Transfer is one of the principal ways by which the University’s research is transformed into the public domain so that government and the public sector, business and industry and the third sector can benefit and our research makes an impact.
These relationships benefit both the research students and the companies with whom they work.
