About us
Who we are
At the University of Northampton, social impact is our ultimate purpose. We create social impact through the transformative experience of our students. Our research, enterprise and engagement with the wider world, and our diverse collaborations and partnerships will continue to transform lives, communities and businesses for the better. The University is an economic engine and a force for social change for the county, the region, and the UK. Our latest Economic Impact Report showed that for every £1 spent running the University, £4 is returned to the economy – a 300% return on investment.
Our priorities reflect our mission. They are rooted in our commitment to the difference we make. Together we have set four key priorities to take us from the present to the year 2027:
- our staff
- our students’ experience
- teaching and learning
- research.
Our culture and values
Our four core values are:
- inclusivity
- sustainability
- aspiration
- trust.
Our values were developed through conversations across our community, they underpin our strategy and guide our decisions.
