Strategic Planning - The Planning Process — University of Leicester

Today marks the start of a new era for the University of Leicester. It is a watershed moment as we have launched a new plan for our future shaped by extensive consultations with staff, students, alumni and local stakeholders. Our ambition is to create a university that represents a distinctive elite in the higher education sector. Our vision is of a discovery-led, research-intensive university which is inclusive and open to all who have talent.

Our plan for the University is published alongside a refreshed brand, with a new logo and a new website which promotes our exciting vision to the wider world. As part of the plan, it is our aspiration to create a National Space Park to show how universities can bring together cutting-edge science, industry, education and training.

This includes the largest investment in medical education at any UK university in the past decade — the largest Passivehouse building in the UK which speaks to our environmental credentials. Alongside this we will transform our digital estate to maximise opportunities provided by new and emerging technologies.

In line with our long-held reputation for widening participation we will continue to provide opportunities for people from disadvantaged and socially excluded backgrounds. We are also taking a leading role in championing equality and respecting diversity among our students and staff.

We are immensely proud of our multicultural setting and I am committed to building on work with the city and beyond to improve economic, social and cultural well-being, the environment and health.

In order to make an even greater difference, we will launch a new campaign focused on ways in which we can help our city meet its most significant environmental, social, community relations and educational challenges.

We will establish a suite of new research institutes bringing together different disciplines and research networks and, for students, we have developed one of the most flexible curriculums in the UK — allowing students to combine disciplines in new ways to suit their interests and ambitions.

As a discovery-led university, through imaginative partnerships we will be ever more focused on innovation.

We will make a real difference: By being more adventurous, more ambitious and more insistent on the value of our distinctive qualities, we will have an even greater impact upon global scholarship and education. In every area, we are already developing bold initiatives that put our university at the forefront of change.
