Strategic Implementation – Growth And Diversification
Our purpose in Growth and Diversification is to ensure our long-term sustainability, by developing a diverse and sustainable student and market base and by building partnerships to enable us to create knowledge and put it into action through education, research and knowledge exchange and engagement. Growth and diversification will enhance our global reputation and secure our long-term financial sustainability.
We do this by:
—Using the opportunities presented by the digitisation and globalisation of education to extend international collaboration, transnational education, online learning and modular learning
— Developing a distinctive global reputation and positioning to become a university of choice in our markets and with partners
— Maintaining our role as an anchor institution making a strategic contribution to the local economy, developing high-quality and highly accessible undergraduate and work-based education and a distinctive approach to supporting learners from disadvantaged backgrounds
— Collaborating effectively with Further Education partners to develop innovative partnerships, including re-imagining ways of learning and assessment, new approaches to health and wellbeing and developing strong pipelines into Higher Education
— Building on our existing international presence and reputation to help us to expand internationally in education and research
— Collaborating with selected partners to attract international students to our UK campus and to expand our offer to international students
—Extending our offer in work-based, postgraduate and professional programmes, short courses and lifelong learning
—Extending our portfolio of knowledge exchange, including continuing professional development, to meet the changing needs of businesses and communities
WE WILL KNOW WE ARE SUCCESSFUL WHEN:
— We have a sustainable position in our chosen UK and international markets, with a strong and distinctive reputation
— We have a global pipeline of financial income from a balanced, sustainable range of international markets and partners
— We have multi-faceted partnerships which help us deliver on our three main priorities
