VISION AND STRATEGIC PLAN
Our vision is to be recognised globally for the excellence of our people, research, learning and innovation, and for the benefits we bring to society and the environment. In 2019 we launched Our future which affirmed our core purpose to advance education, knowledge and wisdom for the good of society and set out ambitious targets for the next five years. As set out when we launched our strategic plan, as we enter our third century we will review and update the strategy which has guided us over the past five years. Our future established three core goals which are encapsulated in our motto: knowledge, wisdom, and humanity:
Our future set an ambitious agenda to build on the University’s distinctive strengths, with a commitment to make a difference to society and the environment and protect our unique status as an open place of enquiry and challenge. It looked to a future where we expand our world- leading research to address the most challenging global questions and exploit our capability for interdisciplinary research; transform the way our students learn to make them the most employable graduates and truly global citizens; and ensure that all our activities make a positive difference to society. The strategic plan reinforces what already makes The University of Manchester distinctive: our excellence, openness and inclusivity, our longstanding commitment to social responsibility, our scale and breadth, our tradition of innovation, and our very close bonds with, and location at the heart of, Manchester. Universities such as ours are ideally positioned to help address many of the world’s major challenges, finding new means to deliver environmental sustainability, close the gap of societal inequalities, improve health, inform and empower citizens, and create the leaders of the future.

It’s about all of us – students, staff, alumni and partners – coming together to shape our ambitions and take on the challenges of the future. Through collaboration, we'll consider who we want to be and how we get there, creating a joint plan that reflects our aspirations and benefits the communities we serve. We are currently in the first phase (listening and discussing) of the process to develop Manchester 2035. We will publish the final strategy later in 2025.
