Coventry University

We aspire to be a dynamic, global, enterprising university. We will work in partnership with external organisations through our research and engage our students as partners in a community of learning.

We are committed to the principle of academic freedom, founded on rational enquiry conducted with integrity. We value lifelong relationships with our students, from their first engagement with the University, throughout their studies, and their future lives as alumni. We contribute to economic prosperity and to social well-being. Through our research and teaching we contribute to solving some of the most important problems or grand challenges in our society. We seek to foster excellence, innovation, creativity and enterprise among our students, staff, and partner organisations. We aim to work in sustained partnership with external organisations and we encourage collaboration across internal boundaries. As an organisation we promote supportive teamwork, and we value diversity, fairness and equality of opportunity. We value our staff and expect them to use their professional judgment. We therefore seek to develop their knowledge, skills and capabilities for their own professional fulfillment and the University`s benefit. We take a proactive approach towards caring for the environment, including carbon reduction, and we seek to adopt best practices in the interactions we have with our local communities. We aim to have cost effective procedures and processes and we seek continuing improvement in what we do.
