We have an open door policy, and to make
getting in contact easier, Open 4 Business forms the hub of our
services to businesses, individual entrepreneurs, public and
voluntary sector organisation. Here you will find information and
advice about the wide range of services that Buckinghamshire New
University can offer you.
We offer services in three broad
areas:
Knowledge
Transfer :
We invite you to make use of our academic
expertise to develop your business. You can do so in several ways.
For example, through contract research and
consultancy. We have two nationally recognised
specialist centres, one offering fast prototyping, the other
environmental advice for businesses.
Or if it’s talented people you are looking
for, you can take advantage of the Government-backed Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) scheme, in
which you can take a new project forward by forming a threeway
partnership with us and a recent graduate. If you are looking to
recruit staff, look no further than our enterprising students.
Professional
Development:
The Bucks hallmark is our developing range of
unique, innovative and creative programmes and courses. These range
from half-day seminars to continuing professional development
(CPD), MBAs and foundation degrees.
Short courses can be tailored to meet the
needs of you and your business.
