Lifelong learning

We commit to working in partnership to:

Enable lifelong learning as a multiversity

Since 1856 we have been transforming lives, providing the skills, training and qualifications to enable individual and organisational growth. Our strategic commitment to become a multiversity, will enable people across the region and beyond to achieve their full potential, immersing themselves in our rich knowledge and experiences regardless of their background.

For business and society this means together we will:

• Develop partnerships to broaden our course portfolio, offering skill development opportunities outside of the traditional undergraduate market.
• Be practice led in our provision, with industry voice embedded within our Impact Boards across maritime, business and law, STEM, creative industries, and health care and wellbeing.
• Make our campus and facilities available to all, providing opportunities to access our knowledge and facilities.
• Understand the needs of our learners, putting in place appropriate access and support programmes, allowing individuals to achieve their full potential.

Since launching our original Civic Charter in 2021, we've been working with communities to make a difference. Take a look at our achievements to date here.
