Our Vision
Our vision is to be a University for Wales, with a commitment to the well-being and heritage of the nation at the heart of all that we do.

Our Values

Inclusivity, by removing barriers to participation and supporting people from all backgrounds and circumstances to fulfil their potential.
Employability and creativity, by offering educational programmes that develop entrepreneurial and creative skills, enabling learners to have the best opportunities to gain employment and to contribute to the prosperity of their communities.
Collaboration through strategic relationships, working with others to provide educational and commercial opportunities and to ensure that Wales is connected to the wider world.
Sustainable development, by behaving in a way which ensures that the needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, and by systematically embedding this principle in our approach to teaching and learning.
The concept of global citizenship, through the development of multi-national activities and opportunities for our learners, staff and partners.
