Learning, teaching and student experience

Strategic aims: 

  1. To provide a world-class education and student experience – building on our outstanding history while also continuing to evolve, innovate and improve.
  2. To be ambitious in our approach to the recruitment, guidance, retention and development of students from all backgrounds and across all programmes and modes of delivery.
  3. To develop a coherent, inclusive and holistic learning, teaching and student experience offer, with student wellbeing at its heart, including by devising new employability and entrepreneurship, global mobility and personal development opportunities and through our ongoing commitment to decolonisation.
  4. To embrace a long-term, planned approach to learning, teaching and student experience, ensuring appropriate investment in staffing, training, estates, facilities and digital resources and parity of esteem with other areas of activity.
  5. To set consistently high standards for the quality, sustainability and atractiveness of our programmes and their delivery.
