Business engagement

Interaction with businesses and external organisations plays a vital role in the Department of Chemistry and we enjoy sharing our knowledge with the wider community.

We have fantastic external links with industry; as well as receiving multi-million pound funding from BP, Sellafield and BASF, our Department has collaborated with global pharmaceutical, aerospace and electronics companies.

We welcome new opportunities for collaboration, and your company can benefit from working with us by:

• participating in major collaborative research projects;
• taking professional development through our training and courses;
• hiring our consultancy services in our main research areas;
• using our analytical services, or bespoke manufacturing and repair.

Addressing real-world challenges through business collaboration is central to the Department's work.

The depth of knowledge in the Department allows us to provide expert consultancy services.

We can provide your staff with bespoke, annually-run practical training in X-ray services.

The Department offers analytical, electronic, glassblowing and mechanical services to businesses.
