Through a commitment to excellence and alignment to the aspirations of the UNSDGs, MHLS strives to address grand challenges and set new global agendas through education, research, and innovation.

We believe that excellence can only be built upon diversity, and a culture of equality, inclusivity, fairness, empathy, and collegiality.  

We are committed to our Athena SWAN programmes (our Schools hold Gold and Silver awards) and ensuring that the core values of the Staff Charter pervade what we do. 

Our Schools are the custodians of our strategy, aligning to deliver our education and research programmes and overseeing the evolution of our culture and behaviours.

They nurture and develop our people and attract new talent to support our goals and long-term ambitions.

Our education programmes aim to ensure our graduates are future-ready, with a global outlook and the skills needed to contribute to the health and well-being of our communities and the planet we live on.  

We strive to enhance the quality and impact of what we do through Team Science, centred on a collaborative ethos founded on agile engagement and enduring partnerships locally and globally. 

Integrity, openness, and innovation provide the bedrock for impactful collaborations that seed enduring partnerships to tackle local and global challenges. For example, Faculty staff and students made significant contributions to managing the societal impacts of the pandemic based on our culture of collaboration, resilience and collegiality in research and education.
