University Strategy
In 2008/09 the University conducted a major strategic review, providing an opportunity for analysis and reflection on our performance since 2004, and the implications of external change for our priorities towards 2015. The Review has reaffirmed much of the broad strategic direction in our 2004 – 2010 Strategic Plan and has also highlighted new approaches and actions we can take.
It is our vision to be established as one of the leading, modern professional universities in the United Kingdom by 2015. We will have an international reputation for the employability of our graduates and for expertise which can be used to directly enhance the lives and prospects of people and their communities.
