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.

Purpose

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.

Strategy

To help us achieve our goal we have a strategy, represented by a one-page map

Refreshed strategy 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.
