Working together

A network built for impact

CATUC's partnerships extend across the Church, the health sector, academia, industry and civil society. They shape our curriculum, open real placements and internships for students, and connect our academics to wider research and professional communities.

We are always open to new collaborations — from joint research and staff exchange to placement agreements and community projects.
