One vision Our refreshed strategy map will help us to achieve our goal
By 2015 our distinctive ability to integrate world-class research, scholarship and education will have secured us a place among the top 50 universities in the world.
Our vision informs all our decisions and activities. It is the living, breathing heart of our organisation.
We are a research-intensive University which strives to create, advance and disseminate knowledge, develop outstanding graduates and scholars and to make a major impact upon global society.
The standard of excellence to which we aspire means undertaking research of international quality which makes a real difference to knowledge, its application and the way in which our society thinks and functions.
To help us achieve our goal we have a strategy, represented by a one-page map
Over the past year students and staff have helped refine the strategy to ensure it remains relevant, particularly in these challenging times.
Our vision of securing a place among the world's top 50 universities through our distinctive ability to integrate world-class research, scholarships and education remains unchanged, as do our purpose and values, but some of the objectives have been re-worded to provide greater clarity and focus.
