Our ambition is to create new knowledge through world-leading research that powers an inclusive economy and drives social mobility. We offer a distinctive, research-informed voice on issues of sustainability, ethics and inclusivity in public, private and charitable organizations to enhance society. We work in partnership with numerous local and global organisations to fulfil our mission. Our high-quality, applied, and actionable research informs both the full range of our academic programmes and the world of practice.

Our mission and ambition reflect the wider Northumbria University strategy as a research-intensive university.
