University Strategic Plan

The University’s current Strategic Plan runs from 2008–9 to 2012–13. Council therefore established a steering group in Hilary Term 2012, chaired by the Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education, charged with the development of the Plan for the period 2013-14 to 2017-18. The group included members from Council, the divisions and the colleges and was supported by separate groups considering in more depth the areas of research, education and widening engagement.

On 5 November 2012, Council approved a draft of the University Strategic Plan which was circulated for comment across the collegiate University at the end of Michaelmas Term 2012. Submissions on the draft plan were invited from all bodies within the collegiate University as well as individuals. Written feedback from this consultation is available to download from the restricted access section of this site.  A Congregation Discussion on he subject of the draft Strategic Plan took place on 19 February.  A transcript of this discussion may be found at http://www.ox.ac.uk/gazette/2012-2013/.

After the consultation period closed, the Strategic Plan was re-worked.  The re-worked version was approved by Council on 20 May 2013 for submission to Congregation.
