- Help students shape and lead their own academic and student experience by providing opportunities that foster connection and engagement, building their skills and future careers.
- Use our influence to forge and create change in the interests of students within the institution, the community, and wider society, by empowering the students themselves.
We are emerging from a change programme which has seen us significantly enhance our culture, governance, and partnerships. We are proud to have positive morale internally, with 93% of staff feeling they are trusted and well respected at work. We have enhanced our Trustee board and enjoy a great level of support and engagement from Trustees.
Our new approach to building partnerships with LSE is working exceptionally well, including investing in dedicated partnerships management roles within our staff structure. We are also excited to be opening a newly refurbished commercial offer in the very near future.
