Strategic Plan 2012 - 2017
To achieve our mission we will be investing in our staff to lead not follow. Building, maintaining and rewarding high achievement, we will give our staff forums to challenge and debate our strategies and policies. We will ensure our staff are prepared to take managed and informed risks in the work that we do, and that they have the relevant skills and experience to interact successfully, flexibly and proactively with our students and communities.
We will ensure that we are a sustainable university – both financially and environmentally – generating surplus income, controlling costs and diversifying the range of income streams. Our surplus income in the first year will focus entirely on the quality of our student experience.
Our successful plan to cut carbon emissions will continue, extending it to include: procurement; construction and refurbishment; waste management; biodiversity; transport and travel; corporate social responsibility and the curriculum.
