OUR VALUES.
EQUITY.
Equity is our primary value. We are committed to developing and nurturing a diverse community that delivers equitable outcomes across all parts of our university activity, as well as supporting equity through the impact of our activities in local, national and international communities.
We champion equality and diversity as critical to the future we seek to build and protect.
COURAGE.
Courage is a cornerstone of academic and institutional health for our university. Courage empowers our students and staff to challenge the status quo and embrace innovative ideas.
Ensuring that every student from every background achieves outstanding outcomes will require institutional courage.
Supporting our students to realise a confident future as agents of change and ensuring the university operates as a beacon of opportunity and equity will require courage.
Courage means stepping out of our comfort zone to explore new perspectives. It involves taking intellectual risks, knowing that failure is part of the learning process.
CREATIVITY.
Nurturing creativity is key to ensuring we continue to grow and develop our activities. We’re committed to creating new, radical and exciting opportunities for our students, staff and community. We recognise the scale of the challenges we face as an institution, society and world, and place value on tackling these in creative and innovative ways.
PARTNERSHIP.
Partnership is at the core of who we are. Through partnership we create distinctive educational programmes, we share and disseminate our research and enterprise and we create mutual benefit to our city, our region and globally. We are a leading university for the value of our partnership and engagement work.
SUSTAINABILITY.
We recognise and value the critical importance sustainability has for the future of our students, staff, partners and community. As the UN’s sustainable development goals make clear, sustainability encompasses a range of social, economic and educational factors, as well as environmental ones. Whether it’s through buildings of the future, a strong and protected financial position or the long-lasting knowledge and support we give our students and staff, sustainability will be highly valued, underpinning the decisions we make and the activities we do, now and in the future.
