  • Prioritising investment in high-quality research and related enterprise activities that deliver positive impacts regionally, nationally and globally
  • Building leadership and management capability, enabling cross-departmental working and celebrating diversity
  • Creating vibrant, green and sustainable campus environments with expanded provision of student accommodation, improved learning spaces and new facilities
  • Managing resources and finances in a sustainable way to enable continued strategic investment.
