Shaping our future, refreshing our Strategy

News

Posted on Wednesday 25 February 2026

We're refreshing our current Strategy to guide us until 2035 and beyond.

Our current Strategy has been in place since the start of the decade, and has served us well during some turbulent times for UK higher education. 

Our commitment to public good is an enduring one, whatever challenge or change is thrown at us. 

Our four strategic principles will remain: environmental sustainability, interdisciplinary collaboration, internationalism and inclusion. 

We are evolving our aims, to provide more focus and resilience, and to shape our thinking and set out paths of action through to 2035.
