Our local community

We are creating a new model for a university working in partnership with its surrounding community, widening participation and working for the public good. Among our many locally-focused activities, we work with local organisations and residents to co-design activities that are responsive to local need, and we provide opportunities for the public to be a part of activities and events around enterprise, health and wellbeing, education, research and discovery.
