"A first class international university, A distinctive national identity."

Our mission is to develop the individual and society as a whole, guided by our commitment to the nation that we love and by extension, the world that we cherish. We will achieve this by pushing back the frontiets of human knowledge through the cultivation and enrichment of the intellect, faith and culture which will in turn be accomplished through the creation of a conducive environment for achieving excellence in teaching, learning, research, scholarship, public service and professional practices.

In pursuing our mission, we shall be guided by the underlying values of our national philosophy.
