Our Mission
To create enduring societal impact by advancing research and education.
Guiding Principles
Education
Our societal and regional context often seeks academic certification and not necessarily knowledge. In GUST we will build innovative programs that instill knowledge based on theoretical and applied experience that culminates in academic certification.
Advancement
Advancement and research is what propels humanity forward. We want to drive national and regional advancement through our community’s curiosity, immersive learning and discovery. This progress is what solves practical problems.
Societal Impact
Our research, advancement, activities and initiatives should contribute to the advancement of society and address relevant issues and causes, for example; economic sustainability, education, energy, food security and emerging markets.
Enduring Excellence
Institutions outlive students and people. Having enduringly excellent students is different than an enduringly excellent institution. We want our institution (GUST) to outlive individuals. Therefore, we want to reflect this in our governance model, decision making process and standards.
GUST Values

Innovation
Learn, unlearn and relearn – in a fast-changing world with daily developments we need to be an agile and proactive “problem solving” institution, through our breakthrough research, entrepreneurial spirit and our teaching approach.
