At BU service excellence is our way of focusing on delivering an experience which is human centred where individuals feel uplifted, inspired and where everyone can flourish.

Our BU2025 vision is to be recognised world-wide as a leading university for inspiring learning, advancing knowledge and enriching society through the fusion of education, research and practice.

We aim to deliver on this by embedding a positive organisational culture through our BU values and our service excellence actions in our internal performance and development frameworks.

To ensure we have a positive impact on our environment, on others and on ourselves, therefore improving everyone’s experience, we have developed the following service excellence actions as a way to signal the attitudes and behaviours that align with our values. We particularly take action to recognise, support and celebrate kindness, respect, a positive mind-set and a caring approach in all our BU community.
