Sustainability is one of the core values in the university’s Strategic Plan, underpinning everything that we do.
Our commitment to sustainability runs through everything we do, from cutting our carbon footprint, increasing biodiversity and implementing waste management and recycling initiatives to sustainable practices such as ethical procurement, eco-friendly food choices and responsible travel options.
We are creating a culture of responsibility and awareness among our students, staff and the wider community, ensuring our graduates leave the university with the skills and knowledge needed to be change-makers for a sustainable future.
