EcoCampus

Tied in with the development of green initiatives within buildings across the university the management and planning of each individual campus. To this end the university have signed up to the EcoCampus scheme. It is a national Environmental Management System (EMS) and award scheme. It helps the university to systematically and continuously identify, evaluate, manage and improve their environmental performance and practices in various progressive phases. It is closely aligned to ISO 14001 which is the international EMS standard and is applied across all university activities.

In February 2012 the university has received a Bronze award in the EcoCampus scheme.  This signifies that the university has successfully been through the ‘planning’ stage of the programme. After the plan has been implemented, the university will be awarded the Silver award, enabling us to strive towards the Gold and Platinum.
