Partnerships and engagement

The Global Sport and Movement Collaborative is committed to long-term, reciprocal partnerships that respond to community priorities and deliver shared benefits.

We have established partnerships locally and around the world so that we can enrich the student learning experience, translate our research into community impact and collaborate to solve industry problems. Our partnerships will look different across disciplines and for different organisations. It might look like academics conducting novel research in collaboration with your business, students undertaking career-ready placements in communities, or something bespoke for your organisation, like consulting or a community development project.

Enriching student learning

At the University of Newcastle, the student learning experience is connected to real-world application. Alongside classroom study and peer learning, undergraduate and postgraduate students engage in project-based learning and complete a career-ready placement with a Global Sport and Movement Collaborative partner. Career-ready placements can take the form of internships, practicums, clinical placements, work-integrated learning, or industry-led projects that give students the chance to apply their academic knowledge and theory in real-world settings. Higher degree by research students seeking opportunities to be embedded into a partner organisation can undertake an industry engaged PhD. These are exciting opportunities for you and your organisation to connect with a pipeline of future talent, discover your industry's latest academic knowledge, and share your professional expertise with a student.
