Learn and Live

Our Strategy: Learn and Live (2022-2027) is built on five goals and seven enablers, showing how we will achieve our mission over the next five years.

Our five goals:

• greater reach, offering unrivalled choice, quality and flexibility to more people from all parts of society through a range of channels and learning opportunities, with the University’s core offer of qualifications and accredited learning at its centre1 .
• success for our students, supporting them to achieve their goals, whoever and wherever they are, with outcomes that are equitable and open up new opportunities in life and work.
• societal impact locally and globally through research, enterprise and skills development that shape the future.
• equity, greater diversity at all levels, and inclusion in every aspect of how we work and what we achieve.
• environmental and social sustainability

The seven enablers to reach our goals:

• living our values, being inclusive, innovative and responsive in all we do.
• supporting each other to do our best work.
• continuously improving how we work and manage change.
• employing secure and effective technologies with the best possible user experience.
• using data and evidence in all our decision-making.
• building on our uniqueness as a university for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
• stewarding our finances so that we can invest in our goals.
