Learning and Teaching Strategy 2009-2013
Introduction
As a University we value: the highest academic and professional standards;
social, cultural and economic responsibility; environmental sustainability;
diversity; equality of opportunity; integrity and leadership. Our mission is
to be a globally competitive, research-intensive, student-focussed
university that takes seriously its economic, social and cultural
responsibilities to the Eastern region, the UK and the world.
The University is committed to growth through regional and international
partnership and to developing its multi-campus footprint. It aims to recruit
the best and most appropriately qualified students and give them an
educational and social experience that will benefit them for life.
At Essex, research, teaching and knowledge transfer enjoy parity of esteem.
In this Learning and Teaching Strategy we identify future aspirations in
learning and teaching and put the building blocks in place to ensure that
these aspirations 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 the attributes that define our graduates:
academic abilities, employability skills and personal and social qualities.
