Mission and values

Our mission:

'To educate, to advance knowledge and to serve the public good'

Our values:

We value freedom, justice, truth, human rights and collective effort for the public good. The plans and actions of the University of Winchester are founded in these ideals together with the following values:

Intellectual freedom

Intellectual freedom and its appropriate expression are at the heart of our business.

Social justice

We seek to embody social justice and develop our students as effective and fulfilled global citizens. They will be prepared to challenge the status quo and will have the strength to stand up for what they believe to be true.

Diversity

We delight in diversity.

Spirituality

We celebrate our Christian foundation encouraging those living within the Christian faith, whilst also welcoming those who live within other faiths and those who have no faith.

Individuals matter

The wellbeing of individuals is important, as are their opinions and views.

Creativity

Permeability, agility and imagination are central to our thinking: we endeavour to act as a crucible for the generation and exchange of knowledge.
