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 Strategic Plan Overarching Group includes members from Council, the divisions and the colleges and supported by separate groups considering in more depth the areas of research, education and widening engagement.

On 5 November 2012 Council approved the draft University Strategic Plan as a document for wide consultation across the University.  The draft Strategic Plan will be considered at Divisional Boards, Conference of Colleges, Governing Bodies and Council Committees during Hilary Term 2013, and is available to download from the restricted access section of this site.

Members of the University and Congregation are encouraged to comment directly to strategic.plan@admin.ox.ac.uk by the end of ninth week of Hilary Term. Comments will be posted on this website, unless permission is withheld.

A Discussion on the topic of The University’s Draft Strategic Plan (2013/14-2017/18) will take place at the Congregation meeting on 19 February 2013 (week 6); further details about the arrangements will be published on this website and in the Gazette early in Hilary Term.

Following consultation, the draft Strategic Plan will be amended in the light of comments received and presented to Council and Congregation for approval by the end of Trinity Term 2013.
