Get to know the Partnership Hub and their new Associate Director, Zeeshan Asghar. In this article, you can find out more about the team's vision, priority and goals and how to get in touch.

The aim of the Partnerships Hub will be to act as a central ‘front door’ to the external world. Inspired by shared values, we will work with our commercial, public and third-sector partners across the UK and around the world to create opportunities for our students to thrive at and beyond university, and for organisations to benefit from our people, research and leading-edge facilities.

The Partnership Hub: Our Vision

Our vision for partnerships is to build an inclusive and sustainable university-wide partnerships framework that will increase our capability to deliver the ambitions of the 2030 strategy. We will do this by, creating opportunities for individuals and society, building partnerships and delivering impact.

Working closely together, we can empower individuals to fulfil their ambitions and help to better society.
