Fundamental
to the work of St Mary’s are its religious, educational and
professional values. In particular we work for the development of
the whole person in a formative human environment and we strive to
ensure that Christian values underpin the
“St Mary’s experience”.
St
Mary’s is committed to achieving the highest quality in all
aspects of its mission.
In particular we work closely with Queen’s University Belfast
to develop and implement procedures that will assure and enhance the
quality of the College’s academic provision.
St
Mary’s seeks to build a community
which is based on Christian values and which is held together by a
shared vision.
We strive to ensure that all our staff, students and visitors feel
part of this community and enjoy positive experiences of the College.
St
Mary’s recognises that it can only be effective in taking forward
its mission in the context of partnerships. We value most highly our
extensive network of university, school, governmental, business and
community partnerships, which extend from our immediate locality to
the wider world.
St
Mary’s, the first dedicated Teacher Education provider in the
North of Ireland, continues to offer undergraduate and postgraduate
courses (in English and in Irish) for the education of teachers. We
offer students high quality learning, teaching and support, in partnership
with over three hundred schools.
As
part of its strategy to increase access to higher education, St Mary’s
has developed a unique Liberal Arts honours degree programme. This
programme combines the benefits of a well-grounded, broadly based
education and the development of skills with a focus on employability.
