Mission Vision and Values

Our Mission

"We strive for excellence in all we do, delivering world-leading teaching and research, supporting students to discover new knowledge and develop their skills, and making a difference to UAE and the wider world."

Our values

We will be guided in our mission by our institutional values:

  • Ambition for our people, our institution, our city, region, and the global community to be the best they can be.
  • Integrity in how we behave – being recognised as open, honest, and trustworthy.
  • Respect and care for each other, harnessing inclusivity to enrich what we do and how we do it.

Our shared vision

To make an impact on people's lives and be a force for good in the world.

Three key pillars underpin the delivery of our vision:

  • People: Our community supports one another to deliver excellence in all we do.
  • Place: From our roots in Stirling, we are making an impact regionally, nationally and globally.
  • Purpose: We are driven by our ambition to enhance lives and be a force for good in the world.

Wellbeing, Inclusion, Diversity, Equality and Cultural Integrity

We are committed to leading on issues concerning well-being, inclusion, diversity, equality, and cultural integrity. We recognise that diversity of staff and students benefits and enriches the community’s work, learning and experiences. The Academic team is working to embed these into its culture and working practices, which are aligned with UAE legislation, cultural values, and the University framework.
