We’re an ambitious university with an enthusiasm for imagination and collaboration.
Committed to valuing and celebrating our diversity and promoting equality and inclusion, we welcome talent from a diverse range of backgrounds and our roles vary enormously: you could be teaching students, building relationships with stakeholders, or working in one of our support services. But we’re all ambassadors for our University, united by the shared conviction that together we make a great community.
