Providing University expertise to deliver impact across the world

Academic Consultancy Services

Academic consultancy is an important and effective way for the University to share its knowledge and expertise from across all disciplines with government, industry and public organisations, locally, nationally and globally.

We partner with our University academics, researchers and staff and external clients to facilitate consultancy engagements, ensuring project expectations are understood and aligned from the outset, parties are protected appropriately and contractual negotiation and financial administration is handled effectively and efficiently for the benefit of all parties.

At its core, consultancy is a cross-pollinator of ideas, expertise and knowledge between academia, industry and other actors.
