At the end of April 2010 the University Council approved the 2010-2015 Strategic Plan, which had been developed over the previous year following consultations with staff, students, the senior management team, and members of Council.
The consultation included focus groups, drop-in sessions and questionnaires; the range of contributions and the time given by many people – especially to the focus groups - was enormously helpful. A number of strong themes emerged that informed the development of the one page Strategic Map and the subsequent supporting documents. These themes have shaped the 6 Strategic Aims:
• To provide high-quality tailored learning and teaching
• To deliver international excellence and impact in focused areas of basic/strategic, applied, translational and practice-based research
• To provide a high quality experience to all students
• To develop an environmentally aware and sustainable outward facing campus community
• To foster a culture of enterprise and creativity to grow and diversify income
• To manage and develop resources effectively
The Strategic Map, containing the mission, values and aims and objectives has been distributed to all staff and is available below. The additional documents that comprise the full Strategic Plan include an Operating Plan (also available below), key performance indicators, key corporate risks and supporting strategies, such as the Learning and Teaching Strategy and the Estates Strategy.
Inherent in the 2010-2015 Strategic Plan is the recognition that the University is operating at a time of significant change for the sector and there will be a review of the current plan after its first year.
