Teaching That Matters

Modern universities are dynamic, innovative and diverse. As hubs for creativity, learning, debate and the development of new ideas, they drive economic, social and cultural developments at the individual, local, regional and national level. Teaching, research, consultancy and knowledge transfer activities propel innovation and entrepreneurship and ensure that modern universities make an outstanding contribution to economic regeneration, business development and the delivery of public services. Teaching and learning are central to the mission of modern universities which provide opportunities for people at different stages of their lives and their careers. The students at these universities are more likely to come from a wide range of backgrounds and bring a multitude of experiences and expectations to their higher education courses that benefit the universities at which they study.
