NUI Galway Shared Vision, Shaped by Values
Our strategic plan is built on a foundation of core values that define our purpose and priorities. During the course of 2019, our students, staff and external stakeholders were involved in debating these values and helping us understand how our university mission should evolve into the future. Our values are a statement of intent to the world and will now guide us in everything we do.
We champion our core values of respect, excellence, openness and sustainability. We intend that these values will reinforce each other and, together, they will enhance our university’s distinctiveness.
These core values set a standard by which we will choose, define and measure our priorities, our actions and our behaviours. They will be the lived experience of our people and of those with whom we live, learn and partner. Our students will graduate with the distinctive attributes associated with our values, which are hallmarks of good citizenship, independent critical thinking, and capacity for making positive contributions to both society and economy. Our values will be a lens for policy-making and recruitment at NUI Galway.
