Joining our community
The university's values
As a member of our diverse community, we expect you to recognise and value differences in order to be a respectful member of your new student body. We are proud to be a positive and peaceful community. Be a part of this as a respectful, empathetic, and self-aware person so that we can be truly stronger together.
In all we do, we value...
Inclusivity
We are a community where everyone can contribute and be appreciated for who they are.
Ambition
We set the highest standards for ourselves and our work and support each other to achieve them.
Openness
We adopt a straightforward and transparent way of communicating with each other and with the world, championing the free exchange of ideas.
Fairness
Our decisions and actions are consistent, impartial, and ethical.
Respect
We have regard for each other’s rights and feelings, and demonstrate this in our behaviour, treating each other with kindness.
