HetSys: Industry Partners
HetSys students will be trained to model complex systems and can help businesses in addressing key challenges, with companies providing access to real world problems, and an understanding of financial and business pressures.
We have a range of industrial partners who provide varied support from PhD partnerships, advice and guidance and attendance at a range of events to taking part in industry study groups, giving guest lectures, providing training, software and other support areas.
Our partners help to provide a strong foundation that continues to develop along with our students.
If you are interested in collaborating with HetSys, please get in touch.
