We’re building the university of the future – a forward-looking institution that changes lives. We empower and inspire our community of students, staff, and alumni by valuing their ideas, celebrating their achievements, and creating occasions. Locally proud but internationally focused, we’re committed to building lasting academic, social and professional relationships.

The big challenges that our world faces are a mix. We are working to solve them by sharing our ideas, expertise, and technology across the University and with our partners.

From tackling cancer to making our cities greener, to creating smart textiles that improve and save lives; we’re making major breakthroughs across our five key themes. And, through our thriving research culture, we’re also creating the innovators of the future who will continue to have an impact on world problems. We share our expertise with businesses. They create occasions for our students. Everybody wins!
