OUR STRATEGY
/ PEOPLE, DIGITAL, CAMPUS We are committed to ensuring that we have an inclusive and fully diverse colleague community in which each member can feel inspired and motivated to perform at their best. We will transform our campus and the surrounding city district though the Campus Masterplan, creating vibrant, attractive, sustainable and accessible new spaces that will bring together industry, education and innovation. We are continuing to invest in digital technology to connect colleagues, students and our wider communities in new and innovative ways and will transform our University through enabling digital technologies. / ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY The world has changed, and global environmental challenges faced by humanity are significant and urgent. As a campus university in the heart of a city we continue to enhance the environmental benefits of our location and that of our teaching and research excellence that focuses on human interaction with the natural world. We have a commitment to becoming net carbon zero by 2038.
/ PREPARING OUR STUDENTS FOR THE FUTURE Ensuring that our students are given the knowledge and skills to succeed in their chosen careers is our biggest priority. This means working with employers to connect them to industry as well as embedding real world learning into the curricula of a demand led portfolio. It also means putting in place opportunities and support for personal development, through their studies and through extra-curricular activity.
/ LOCAL ROOTS, GLOBAL AMBITION We will provide an attractive, accessible, and increasingly flexible portfolio that is responsive to the skills needs of regional, national and international economies, facilitating industry engagement, partnership and flexible learning.
/ EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION (EDI) Our aim is to be a university where, regardless of background, all have equity of opportunity and there is equity in outcomes for all colleagues and students, with EDI at the heart of everything we do.
/ INNOVATION - INTENSIFYING INDUSTRY COLLABORATION Through our industry-focused research and innovation, we will harness our expertise across our key areas of excellence and work with partners to address real world challenges. We will do this by helping businesses to improve their products and services, supporting policy makers to tackle the major issues facing our society and through connecting with our community to share knowledge and expertise.
/ FINANCIAL RESILIENCE Our aim is to provide long-term financial sustainability that will allow sufficient investment to support our ambitions.
