Âé¶¹TVÍøÕ¾ University student charter
Created with students. Lived in partnership.
Our shared commitment
Âé¶¹TVÍøÕ¾ works best when students and staff build it together and when learning prepares us to thrive in a world that keeps changing.
We're a London university, rooted in one of the most diverse boroughs in the country, with a practice-based approach to teaching and a student community that brings the whole world into our classrooms. That's not a backdrop. It's the substance of who we are, and this Charter is built on it.
This Charter is grounded in the MDX Graduate Competencies - the skills, mindsets and ways of working that run through every course, and that we believe every Âé¶¹TVÍøÕ¾ graduate should leave with. It's a living agreement, co-created with students and reviewed in partnership, year on year.
Our shared principles
We are united by a commitment to:
- Partnership and co-creation
- Employability and future-readiness
- Inclusion, empathy and belonging
- Curiosity, ambition and lifelong learning
- Civic, professional and global engagement.
Together, we will
Whether we're students, staff or part of MDXSU, we share the same starting point. Together, we'll:
- Treat each other, our neighbours and our communities with respect and dignity
- Cherish difference, and build a Âé¶¹TVÍøÕ¾ where everyone feels seen, heard and able to thrive
- Not tolerate harassment, discrimination or sexual misconduct in any form, and use the routes we have to challenge it and keep each other safe
- Talk honestly with each other even when it's hard, especially when it's hard
- Work in partnership to shape what Âé¶¹TVÍøÕ¾ is and what it becomes
- Celebrate what our community achieves, and study and work in ways that respect the world around us.
This Charter is Âé¶¹TVÍøÕ¾ University and MDXSU saying the same thing: we're here to develop confident, capable, compassionate graduates equipped with the MDX Graduate Competencies to make a real difference in their careers, communities and the wider world.
We sign it as partners. And we mean it.
Endorsed by the PVC Education and Student Experience, MDXSU President, and the Student Partnership Board.
