If the pursuit of knowledge feels like a walk in the park then you probably arent trying hard enough. We think a university should be about empowering people to explore what they dont know; through passionate, dedicated teaching and innovative, world-changing research. By embracing the fact that were all coming at it from a slightly different place, and that every journey is personal, weve managed to achieve some remarkable results in our time. We believe that the best universities are not just the privilege of elites. Were proof that you can stand alongside the best and open up the competition for everyone. Some universities consider their primary purpose to be high quality research, others concentrate on excellent teaching. At Leicester we think that the two are not only complementary, theyre inseparable. We believe that teaching is more inspirational when delivered by passionate scholars engaged in world-changing research and that research is stronger when delivered in an academic community that includes students. With these ideas at heart, Leicester is re-framing the values that govern academia and re-defining what a university needs to be in the 21st century. We are constantly finding new ways of being a leading university.
