Distinctive Research Impact
By 2035, we will be counted among the Top 200 universities globally in at least one established World University Ranking. This target demonstrates our ambition to be a highly effective organisation, recognised for our high standards of research excellence and global impact.
To achieve this ambitious target, we will focus on driving performance in the following measures:
- Publications in Top Journals
- International Research Collaboration
- Research Reputation
- Research Income
- PhD student numbers
- Innovation
This will require a step-change in our performance driven by sustained institutional focus, collective effort and targeted, resourced interventions to improve these metrics over the decade.
Education for the Future
We will be a university of choice that inspires and supports its students across their learning journey to become outstanding graduates. This target demonstrates our ambition to focus collective effort to improve student progression, academic engagement, teaching excellence, wellbeing and belonging.
To achieve this goal, we will focus on driving performance in the following measures:
- Student progression rates year on year
- Student engagement levels
- Recruitment of high-performing students
- Innovative design and delivery of programmes
- Continuing professional development of our teaching staff

It will require meaningful student engagement and partnership, a focus on teaching excellence, enhanced student supports and targeted data-driven interventions to improve these metrics over the next five years.
Effective and Sustainable Organisation that Empowers our People
