Strategy

Our strategy from 2009-10 to 2013-14 is built upon a robust set of key performance indicators. This strategic plan points the way to an ambitious programme of investment designed to establish Essex as a university with global impact and an international reputation that is unparalleled for a university of our size, underpinned by our strong regional base.

  • We will grow through partnership (regional and international) and through developing our multi-campus footprint
  • We will invest prudently, with a focus on student experience and on enhancing our position as a top-ten university for research quality
  • We will focus a proportion of our resource on a small number of collaborative research projects that will lever external funding to address major global challenges facing humanity
  • We will maintain our commitment to widening participation and will continue to focus on the recruitment of high quality students both at home and internationally

Given the diversity and strength of our income base, alongside our effective mechanisms for cost management, the University of Essex will remain financially resilient even if we face future funding constraints.
