Coventry University - A global, enterprising university

Mission Statement 

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.

Core Values

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 judgement. We therefore seek to develop their knowledge, skills and capabilities for their own professional fulfilment 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
