North East is a unique project within the region, which offers assistance to local SMEs.
Students are paid for their work. This project offers excellent opportunities for companies to utilise the wide range of expertise offered by the University's student body at both gaining valuable work experience and additional money to help fund their studies. Business Bridge North East started in December 1999 and is based on a successful project run by Business Bridge Liverpool based at Liverpool John Moores University. Visit their site to see how students and businesses in Liverpool have benefited from their project. Visit our case studies section to see this success replicated in the North East.
