Our vision is to be recognised across the world as a university that addresses the needs of society through innovative and interdisciplinary research; learning and teaching of the highest quality; and by sharing our knowledge with the world.

Our mission is to develop people and help society through the pursuit and understanding of knowledge; transform the lives of our students and staff by giving them opportunities to reach their full potential intellectually and emotionally; and to create global citizens, working in partnership with governments, business and industry, public and third sectors, and colleagues in other institutions, to identify and meet the changing needs of society.

Our actions are underpinned by our values of excellence, openness and ambition.
