Coventry University

Mission Statement

We will demonstrate our core value of ‘excellence in education and student engagement’ by reflecting the changing nature of the learning experience. We will be recognised by our students and employers for providing a high-quality education and learning experience. We will deliver growth in student numbers at our UK campuses and overseas through partnership, collaborative delivery and joint ventures.

We will be nationally and internationally recognised within the academic, business and government communities as undertaking research of the highest quality that has impact beyond academia, yielding economic, social and cultural benefits.

International Role

Through our Student Mobility Service and other initiatives we will produce global graduates with attributes and capabilities enabling them to become global professionals and citizens, and successfully enter the international work environment. We will also develop a staff mobility programme that mirrors the success of, and demand for, our student mobility programme.

We will further enhance our international profile in line with our core value of being ‘global in our outlook’. We will address the challenges of preparing graduates for global careers and the generation of knowledge on global issues. We will maintain our position as the leading UK University for student mobility and an internationalisation experience.

We are, and will continue to be, recognised nationally and internationally by our students and strategic partners for the quality and diversity of our international education experience and student mobility opportunities.

National Role

Through our approach to enterprise and innovation, both within the University and our trading subsidiaries, we will contribute fully to the economic prosperity and knowledge society of Coventry and Warwickshire, the UK and the international economy.

We are, and will continue to be, recognised locally, nationally and internationally by our strategic business partners and governments as an enterprising and innovative University.

Through our activities, we will contribute to the economic and social wellbeing of the City, the region and other communities in which we operate. We will regularly evaluate our economic contribution in order to demonstrate our value to external and internal stakeholders. Staff and students at the University will engage widely with communities and will support, recognise and build on public engagement activities.
