The One that stands

FOR CHANGE

Sustainability is as important to us as it is to you. We’re proud to be an actively eco-conscious university. Many of our courses offer modules focused on sustainability and the environment. You can also get involved with the Environmental Society and the Green Ambassador programme through the Students’ Union (see pages 28-29). We’re continually seeking opportunities to invest in sustainable energy systems on our sites. This includes solar panels and heat pumps on our campus and accommodation sites. Solar car ports have been installed at our sports campus, alongside battery storage to power the floodlights on sports pitches at night. In an effort to manage our impact on the environment, by 2030 we aim to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by more than 80%.

We’ve planted more than

1,000

trees on our sites in the past few years.
