Our Culture and People – who we are
We are a global Middlesex family that is caring, action-oriented, purposeful and inclusive. We collaborate to create knowledge and put it into action.
Middlesex University is home to people who change lives. We make a difference to the lives of our students and to the lives of people locally and globally through our education, research and knowledge exchange and engagement.
Everything we do and achieve comes back to our people and our culture, principles and shared purpose.
WE DO THIS BY:
— High-performing Communities of Practice being our core way of innovating and working
— Co-leading with students and the Students’ Union and co-creating across academia and professional services, disciplines, professions, sectors and cultures
— Being radically creative in our approach, open to trying things, and learning from our experiences and each other
—Designing simplicity into our ways of working and organisational structures to be agile, less hierarchical and more sustainable
—Being a learning organisation, passionate about self-development and the development of others, enacted through a coaching approach
— Embedding diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in everything we do
— Building a healthy institution where people thrive mentally and physically and where we behave responsibly towards people, cultures and the environment
— Creating innovative approaches to organisational design
WE WILL KNOW WE ARE SUCCESSFUL WHEN:
— The strengths of our culture – action-oriented, radically creative, innovative and delivering solutions, agility, inclusion and collaboration – are exemplified in how everyone works, learns and behaves across our global Middlesex family
— We have developed a global orientation within an open, flexible and connected organisation
— We are inclusive and fair in how we operate as a University
