The International Business & Management Centres at the Yorkshire Universities can offer your business access to academic research, specialist knowledge of international markets and industry sectors. These experts and resources can be available to help you find knowledge-based solutions for your overseas business. Each University can provide access to high-calibre multi-lingual students from the UK or international markets to assist with international communications and market entry strategies. Alternatively you may wish to access their world-class undergraduate or postgraduate education facilities. UKTI works in close partnership with the University International Business and Management Centres.
