The University of Plymouth has been named as one of the founding members of the Defence Universities Alliance (DUA).
Created to bring universities and the UK government closer together, the DUA is designed to provide students with better access to defence careers and staff the opportunity to contribute cutting-edge research to the defence industry.
The alliance is a long-term collaboration between the Ministry of Defence, the UK Armed Forces, the Office of the Chief Scientific Advisor for National Security and the higher education sector.
For Plymouth, being one of the alliance's founding members reinforces its existing commitment to - and partnerships with - local and national defence businesses and the Armed Forces.
It recognises how its research is making a significant contribution to the UK's national resilience and security, while its teaching and support is enabling graduates to successfully embark on careers in the defence sector.
It will also support extensive work to equip students with specialist technical and in-demand skills such as engineering, computing, data science, AI, project management, ocean exploration and cyber security.
