Vision Statement

The Faculty of Arts is committed to the pursuit of teaching and research excellence and distinctiveness within a diverse range of humanities and social sciences. It aims to produce internationally recognised and focussed research which informs interdisciplinary and disciplinary teaching that is innovative, high-quality, flexible and student-centred. Principles of access and equity underpin all the Faculty's teaching, learning and research activities.

The Faculty's graduates will be equipped with knowledge and skills essential for active citizenship and for productive careers. They will be articulate, literate and intellectually inquisitive. Our graduates will have a capacity for rigorous and disciplined analysis and have highly-developed attitudes of critical inquiry, creative reflection and openness to cultural difference and diversity. They will be able to adapt to rapidly changing environments in the national and international arena and to adopt new skills and knowledges throughout their careers.
