The University, as a public institution, is confronted by new accounts of the public good and, as an autonomous institution, must engage in exciting new markets for higher education:
* Kingston University is a comprehensive university – in its range of teaching and research programmes, in the diversity of its student population and in the variety of its engagements with society, culture and the economy.
* Kingston University is a university that defines its mission in terms of future possibilities rather than past roles, and transcends the historical hierarchies and demarcations of British higher education.
* Kingston University is a "knowledge" institution and a learning organisation. It recognises the key role knowledge will play in social and economic development in the new millennium while celebrating its traditional, and enduring, role in creating and sustaining human culture.

The mission of Kingston University is to:
* promote participation in Higher Education, which it regards as a democratic entitlement
* strive for excellence in learning, teaching and research
* realise the creative potential and fire the imagination of all its members
* equip its students to make effective contributions to society and the economy

The University of the new millennium will occupy a key role in the production of wealth of all kinds – social, cultural and economic. It will be the pivotal institution in both the learning society and the knowledge economy.

The University faces new challenges – from rival knowledge institutions that do not subscribe to its liberal traditions and its commitment to critical learning, and from those who resist too close an engagement with society and the economy.

* to develop the radical ideas and expert knowledge on which future society will depend while continuing to celebrate a liberal academic culture
* to establish a democratic entitlement to lifelong participation in higher education while safeguarding high standards in teaching and research

The University is both the promoter of innovation and the protector of tradition. In an increasingly uncertain and volatile world it is both:

* a dynamic change-agent creating new knowledge, moulding new skills and shaping new social identities
* an institution of stability, consolidation and discrimination

* coherence, in its commitment to developing fundamental intellectual skills in all its students
* maintaining the highest possible academic standards
* offering all students a consistent and a rewarding, experience

It recognises no contradiction between the need for critical learning and the demands of professional formation. It is as committed to providing its students with competences for employability as to developing the intellectual, expressive and social skills required to take full advantage of all their future life-chances.

Kingston University puts students at the heart of its enterprise. It is committed to offering them the maximum degree of choice of academic programmes consistent with the need to maintain a rigorous and disciplined approach to higher education, partly through the development of a flexible but coherent modular system.

It is also determined to provide students with a satisfying experience outside the classroom by providing a comprehensive range of other services and support and by encouraging the development of a strong students' union.
