Student and Academic Services vision and values

Our vision

To provide enriching and exemplary services, guidance and support to all members of the University and beyond, building successful partnerships that inspire and empower individuals to flourish and proactively contribute to the University's strategic aspirations.

Our values

Bring yourself, connect and collaborate, and make a difference

Bring yourself

• We value diversity - our collective strength is built on individual differences in who we are, how we think and what our experiences have been; we inspire each other to be our authentic selves and the best we can be
• We trust and actively listen to each other, and we treat everyone with kindness, compassion, empathy and respect
• We work openly, honestly and with integrity, sharing ideas, knowledge, practice and decisions with each other as transparently as we can

Connect and collaborate

• We place community at the heart of what we do - our varied connections, collaborations and partnerships across and outside the University inform and transform our work
• We recognise and appreciate the different work taking place in our teams and actively seek to support each other, collaborate, and share our experiences and expertise
• We recognise and harness our individual and collective strengths and skills to support our varied communities, and make work personally rewarding and enjoyable for everyone

Make a difference

• We see and create opportunities, challenging ourselves to find better ways of doing things by being agile, curious, innovative and creative - thinking differently helps to strengthen our future
• We have a ‘can do’ attitude and we support and empower each other to reflect, learn from our mistakes, grow, and continually update our knowledge, skills and approach
• We understand, respect and take pride in the work that we do across the Directorate, and we celebrate our individual and collective successes
