We pride ourselves on a culture that ensures everyone belongs, feels empowered to deliver to their full potential, and is supported by an environment that enables them to thrive.

Essential to the realisation of our vision and delivery of our innovative pathways are our committed and talented staff. Our priority is to provide an excellent people experience, with our 6 core values: Respect, Ownership, Inclusivity, Engagement, Integrity and Teamwork, at the heart of what we do.

At Southampton Solent University, we value the diverse contributions that come together and create our distinctive, innovative and globally connected community. We take pride in all we do and are committed to celebrating our successes, rewarding excellence, fostering innovation and creativity and working collaboratively across the University and with industry partners.

We are dedicated to developing future-ready staff who aspire to deliver excellence, supported by leaders who enrich, inspire and empower. Our purpose is to provide a springboard for our staff and students’ growth, cultivating practical, real-world initiatives and allowing space to imagine and stretch.

We will inspire our students to be adaptable, innovative, creative, and responsible, and support them to develop work ready skill sets. Through these qualities students are enabled to transform communities and lives and allow them to achieve their personal and professional ambitions.

We encourage our staff, students, and alumni to be agile to change and leverage technological advancements. Through trust and accountability, we empower our staff and students to be leaders in sustainability, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to make a positive impact on our planet. By embracing sustainability as a core value, we aim to inspire a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable world.
