Our values

What are our brand values?

Our values are ‘Friendly, Ambitious, Collegiate, Enterprising and Student focused’ often referred to as ‘FACES’. These values underpin and guide everything we do at the University. This includes how we behave but also how we communicate. There’s lots of guidance in this toolkit to help you reflect these values in your communications, including our tone of voice guidance and social media guidance.
