What does social purpose mean for BGU?
- We support individuals to realise their ambitions and create positive change in their communities and beyond.
- As a Civic University we extend the use our campus and resources for the benefit of our local community.
- We are committed to creating positive change in the community through a portfolio of projects and initiatives.
- We are dedicated to improving opportunity and advancing social mobility.
- A portfolio of courses and apprenticeships, which is continually evolving to enable our students to develop the skills needed for a life of impact.
- We collaborate and exchange both knowledge, research and thinking with others, particularly where this supports Equality Diversity and Inclusion
Here are some examples of the ways we are working to meet our social purpose:
- We have staff whose roles are dedicated to bridging the gap between us as an academic institution and local communities.
- One of our many community focused projects is the Ermine Library and Community Hub. It is located just off campus, and offers student volunteering opportunities within our local community.
- We recognise the importance of our student’s well-being on their engagement and development. That's why all of our students and learners have complimentary access to our sport and fitness centre.
