Excellence with Purpose - University Strategy
Reshape, Refresh, Renew
In the past five years, the University of Warwick has seen extraordinary change, both within our walls and in the world at large. Our achievements have been outstanding, including being named the first Russell Group "University of the Year for Teaching Quality 2022" (by The Times and The Sunday Times), achieving Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) 2023 and receiving a record number of student applications. At the same time, we've navigated through challenges like the Covid pandemic, Brexit, and a volatile global landscape.
As the landscape continues to evolve, it's an ideal time to reshape, refresh and renew our "Excellence with Purpose" 2030 strategy. This renewed vision will not only elevate our future goals, it will also reaffirm our commitment to making a positive, lasting impact for years to come. Here we will review our achievements and commit ourselves to a series of goals.
"It is time for a review of our 2018 strategy. Here's how we'll refresh our approach, and how we'll aspire to even greater heights."
- Stuart Croft, Vice-Chancellor
