Our place shaping
We believe that universities have a role to play in a fair and democratic society and success for us is not measured solely by league tables but on the wider contribution we make to our place and to society.
Over recent years we have led the way on how communities and universities are now working together to share resources to provide an inspiring and accessible cultural offer to whole communities.
Our Cultural Spring project is encouraging students, residents, businesses, schools, artists and cultural organisations to collaborate on cultural activity and is successfully bringing communities together.
