Our university

We are strongly embedded in our local region, and our unique and integrated partnership with local colleges is central to our identity.
The University of Suffolk is all about transformation – transforming individuals, our community, our region and beyond. We have absorbed the best traditions in higher education and aligned them with the modern world of employment and entrepreneurship. We are a distinctive, thriving academic community making a clear and immediate impact. Our purpose is to change lives – of individuals and communities, for the better.
In a world where nothing ever stays the same, we all need to change, evolve, succeed and change again. That’s what we do. Be bold and do the same. Together we achieve more.
We are strongly embedded in our local region, and our unique and integrated partnership with local colleges is central to our identity.
The University of Suffolk is a cohesive, self-critical and student-centred academic community.
We are one of the newest UK universities; that means we don't just rely on our heritage but we focus on making history.
At the University of Suffolk, we are proud of our culture where there are close working relationships between different groups of staff and between staff and students. We are inclusive; valuing the contribution of every member of the institution from current staff and students, to our Visiting Professors and Honorary Graduates.
We are an agile, responsive university, custom built for a changing world.
