Our Mission and Our Vision
The Faculty exists to develop critical and creative thinking, cultural understanding and social awareness to support the full and inclusive development of talent in our communities. Our teaching and research across our many disciplines fosters knowledge and discovery about cultures, societies, social and legal justice, business, markets, and the complexities of being human in an uncertain and changing world.
We serve our local communities in the Potteries, contributing to economic growth, cultural richness, and educational pipeline, and benefit the nation and world at large through outstanding, interdisciplinary education and research. Through collaborative partnerships with other educational institutions, cultural organisations, and businesses, we enrich lives, benefit society, and foster a better world.
Our students are at the heart of everything we do, and we enable their success, at Keele and beyond, through an accessible and transformative experience.
Our Vision
Over the next five years, we will fulfil our mission by:
Inspiring more people to study at Keele, enabling access, promoting diversity, and transforming lives through innovative, inclusive education;
Increasing the scale and reach of our world-class, high impact research, addressing essential questions and urgent challenges that face society;
Developing existing and new partnerships – in the local region, nationally, and globally – to deliver on the civic, economic, and cultural purpose of the University;
Prioritising the individuals that comprise our academic community, enabling all staff and students to thrive and achieve their potential;
Providing strategic leadership within Keele and the academy, and among its partners in different sectors, that focuses on achieving financial sustainability of the Faculty and University.
