About us

The University of Suffolk was founded on a bold vision for change. Unencumbered by tradition, we created a new kind of university, custom-built for the modern world. One that is proud to be different and to challenge the status quo. We’re committed to being distinctly more personal and supportive, we’re a community with students at the heart.

The University of Suffolk is all about transformation – transforming individuals, our community, our region and beyond. We have absorbed the best traditions in higher education and aligned them with the modern world of employment and entrepreneurship. We are a distinctive, thriving academic community which makes a clear and immediate impact. Our purpose is to change lives – of individuals and communities - for the better.

In a world where nothing ever stays the same, we all need to change, evolve, succeed and change again. That’s what we do. Be bold and do the same. Together we’ll achieve more.
