Learning and Teaching Strategy
Sustainability is at the heart of our work.
At Essex, research, teaching and knowledge transfer are all highly valued. In
this Learning and Teaching Strategy we identify our future aspirations for
learning and teaching and put the building blocks in place to ensure these are
realised. It is a shared vision, grounded in partnership between students,
academic and support staff, external agencies and employers.
The strategy has been shaped by what define our graduates: their academic
abilities, their employability skills and their personal and social qualities.
We value:
- the highest academic and professional standards;
- social, cultural and economic responsibility;
- environmental sustainability;
- diversity;
- equality of opportunity; and
- integrity and leadership.
Our mission is to be:
- globally competitive;
- research-intensive; and
- student-focused.
We take seriously our economic, social and cultural responsibilities to the
Eastern region, the UK and the world. We are committed to:
- growth through regional and international partnership;
- developing our multi-campus footprint;
- recruiting the best and most appropriately qualified students; and
- giving our students an educational and social experience that will benefit them for life.
