Every organisation’s culture is different, and we can only achieve what we do through our people. Our culture is underpinned by three core values (Team, Excellence & Community) which help guide our daily working lives.
Each of these values is accompanied by specific behaviours, providing a shared understanding of what it means to work here and what our community should look, sound, and feel like.
These values and behaviours apply to all staff, and we expect everyone to embrace them, contributing to a vibrant and positive workplace culture across the University.
Listen to Professor Bob Cryan, our Vice Chancellor, as he discusses the development of our values and their significance to the University.
He explains how these values were shaped and why they are essential in fostering a strong, unified community within our institution.
Great teamwork is one of our core pillars, and we place a strong emphasis on fostering positive and productive relationships with both team members and colleagues.
Our Team value extends beyond your immediate team(s) to encompass interactions with diverse teams across the University and beyond.
Watch the video below to hear from our staff about what the Team value means to them.
The best outcomes are achieved through collaborative effort.
Our Excellence value emphasises taking professional pride in your role, supporting others to thrive, and helping them reach their full potential.

We each play a role in achieving the goals outlined in our University Strategy Map, fostering a shared sense of belonging, purpose, and camaraderie.
Our Community value focuses on actively engaging with our diverse staff, students, and the broader community.
