Lucy Jones
“The KTP not only provided the project management and skilled people….but the support of the University academic supervisors [made] it as current and evidence based as possible. A KTP was one of the only ways to achieve this.”
Agnieszka Bachleda-Baca
“My KTP was challenging but very rewarding at the same time. I have received an unique opportunity to work in the industry and academia at the same time, which is very advantageous. I became a better researcher and worked with different departments at the company, which gave me a great idea of how I want to shape my career path”.

“For me, the KTP role has really been a life changing opportunity…. I hadn’t heard of KTP until I applied for my role, however after the experience I have had I recommend it to anyone – especially graduates as it’s a great bridge between university and ‘real life’. It is certainly a decision I will never regret”.
Melanie Herrmann
“I am privileged to work both with gifted academics at the University of Cambridge, and bright minds at Vizzuality, a change agency for a sustainable and fair future. I am grateful for this unique opportunity to work in a job that I love and believe in.”
Dr Shirley Ann Hazlett, Senior Lecturer, Queen’s University Belfast Management School
“The Management KTP initiative is fantastic for any growth-oriented SME, such as RBP, and we cannot recommend this programme highly enough.”
David Beattie
“Through KTP, I’ve found a graduate role which offers both academic and industry experience in equal measure. My role is intensely immersive, which I put down to the considerable degree of autonomy the KTP framework affords. Our project is a win-win for its stakeholders, may lead to job creation and will reduce our Carbon footprint. That’s satisfying.”
