Our strategy

Strategy 2025 provides the blueprint for the University to be world-leading, with the freedom to explore new ideas of specialism, while building on those areas in which we already excel.

Our University is distinctive, with global reach and a proud history of providing access to education, ideas and solutions that make a real contribution in the world. Our strategy is based on our heritage, our expertise, our relevance and our global presence, and sets a framework for pursuit of our ambitions imaginatively and energetically. It comprises four main themes overleaf on page 6.

Candidates are invited to review projects in strategy and community by viewing recent Annual General Meeting presentations below.
