href="/about/strategy/downloadstrategicplan/">Strategic Plan 2020-2025</a> sets out the goals and priorities for the University, its faculties, departments, centres, institutes and schools. The plan approved by the Senate on the 30 May 2019 and by the Council on the 21 June 2019, reflects the evolving state of higher education, society, industry and the economy. It focuses on students’ experience, resources, contribution of the academic community and the University's impact on the nation as well as the insights of the wider University community and social partners.</p> <p>During the academic year 2018-19 the entire University community of 15,000 students and staff, as well as its external stakeholders were invited to actively participate in the strategic planning process through strategy conferences, working groups, advisory committees and surveys. </p> <p><span>The Strategic Plan is supported by a more comprehensive implementation plan led by the Rector through the quality assurance processes and internal audit procedures. The University's internal and external stakeholders will remain vital to the implementation of the plan.</span></p> <h3>Summary</h3> <p><a href="/about/strategy/summaryofstrategicgoals/">Strategic Commitments</a></p> <h3>Strategic Themes</h3> <p><a href="/about/strategy/strategicgoals1learningandteaching/">I.     Learning and Teaching</a></p> <p><a href="/about/strategy/strategicgoals2researchandknowledgetransfer/">II.    Research and Knowledge Transfer</a> </p> <p><a href="/about/strategy/strategicgoals3societalfactorsandimpact/">III.   Societal Factors and Impact</a> </p> <p><a href="/about/strategy/iventerpriseandindustryimpact/">IV.   Enterprise and Industry Impact</a> </p> <p><a href="/about/strategy/strategicgoals5nationalimpact/">V.    National Impact</a> </p> <p><a href="/about/strategy/strategicgoals6internationaloutlook/">VI.   International Outlook</a> </p> <p><a href="/about/strategy/strategicgoals7sustainability/">VII.  Sustainability</a> </p> <p><a href="/about/strategy/servicesandadministrativesupport/">VIII.
