University of Ulster
Corporate Plan

The Corporate Plan sets out the University’s overall Vision, Core Strategic Aims, Crosscutting Aims and key supporting objectives for the five-year period from 2006/07 to 2010/11. It has been produced following extensive engagement with staff in faculties and departments and reflects our shared vision for the University. The development of the plan has benefited greatly, at all stages, from the comments received from individuals, groups and committees and we thank all of you who have contributed to its evolution.

The Corporate Plan sets a path for the future that has at its centre inclusiveness, transparency and cohesiveness. It defines ‘what this University is about’ and sets for us all a vision and core strategic aims that reflect our distinctive mission, recognises our campus strengths while supporting a unitary approach, and reflects a common purpose. The plan provides clarity, in particular, regarding the role that the University will play in contributing to the development of the region but it also recognises its contribution to, and impact on, developments being progressed in national and international arenas. It provides the overarching framework within which the University will take forward key activities and gives guidance on where we will focus the efforts of our staff and the targeting of resources. To this end the University’s focus will be on providing excellent learning opportunities; excellence in selected areas of research; promoting our leading role in widening access to higher education; promoting creativity and innovation; and conducting our activities in accordance with our core values and to the highest standards of corporate governance. In all of these activities sustainability will be a common theme for us to address, as will rewarding staff who contribute towards the achievement of excellence.
