What we look for
We're a game-changing institution. We look for staff who can balance the need to create a well-run, self-critical institution where good governance and rigorous quality controls are in place, with the need to test (and push) the boundaries of existing practice to create new approaches to engineering education. The way we work together is crucial to this mission and our values and behaviours must reflect this.
Who we are
We never intended to be like other universities. We take pride in celebrating ‘The NMITE Difference’ and being regarded as a game-changing institution.
We’re an innovative new UK higher education provider, located in Hereford, a small city in the heart of the UK on the Welsh borders. We were founded to rethink engineering and technology education and positively impact the region – educationally, economically, and socially.
Our approach to teaching is progressive and connected – with contextualised admissions, active learning, interdisciplinarity, social awareness, and the integration of employers and the community in our teaching and learning.
