Making a difference

Social responsibility is central to all of our teaching, research and engagement activity.

All our work falls into five distinct priorities: research with impact, socially-responsible graduates, engaging our communities, responsible processes, and environmental sustainability. 

Our core aim is to make a positive difference to society at a local, national and international level. 

There are many programmes you can get involved in to help us make a difference. 

Our research is making a positive difference to society.

We produce more graduates each year than any other campus institution in the UK.

We're making a difference in our local communities and wider society.

Our processes balance efficiency with opportunities to create social and environmental benefit.

Our research, teaching and activities are guided by our commitment to environmental sustainability.
