Brand Voice

Our brand voice aims to communicate UAA stories in a way that reflects its environment. It sparks inspiration and encourages a sense of individuality, community and purpose. It encourages students to embark on their educational journey with confidence, knowing they have the support of a caring community and the potential to create a lasting impact on their lives, ÐÜèÔÚÏßÊÓƵ and the world.

The tone of UAA is ambitious and inspirational, identifying opportunity and possibility rather than a set path. With a hands-on approach to learning, practical career training and industry networking, the language we use focuses on real-world objectives and professional goals beyond the university walls. Our words should be forward-looking, depicting UAA not as the final step in one’s academic career but as an important step toward a transformed life.
