Overview of the University of Bradford Strategy 2020-25
Shaping our Future: University Strategy 2020-25
This page provides the headlines of the University Strategy 2020-25. The Strategy will be supported by four sub-strategies (Learning, Teaching & Student Experience; Research and Innovation; Equality, Diversity and Inclusion; and Business and Community Engagement). These are, in turn, underpinned by four enabling strategies (People; Brand, Communications and Marketing; Estates and Infrastructure; and Finance and Performance).
In early 2020, the University was engaged in a series of staff workshops and wider consultations to bring these strategies to life. The need to focus on Covid-19 response, recovery planning and the continued but safe operation of the University campus has interrupted this but work has still progressed in order to launch later this year. While we plan for the safe resumption of life on campus it is important that we continue to put in place the building blocks for the University’s future prosperity and success and we look forward to sharing this with you soon.
