By 2025, we will be delivering one of the best education and student experiences amongst UK universities that enables and inspires our students.
We will be internationally known for a transformative student experience and employability outcomes regardless of background. Our discoveries and research will emphasise existing and new signature areas, where we match the best in the world.
Our education and research, and the talents of our staff and students, will support social, economic, cultural, intellectual and public life in ways that will make us one of the leading civic universities.
We will remain distinctive among our peers in operating with a major stake in continental
Europe, with a strong European dimension in our academic activity.
We will be delivering education in a variety of ways; face-to-face, online and through
alternative routes, in particular, higher and degree apprenticeships.
We have core values around diversity, freedom of speech and the celebration of difference. In taking this forward up to 2025, we will focus on the below five areas.
Our co-production with students and partners enriches our research and innovation adding to the economy and society.
Our education and student experience must reflect the increasing variety of courses and modes of delivery that our students need and want.
We are strengthening our partnerships at Kent – crossing divisional boundaries in the modules and research we offer. Regionally, nationally and internationally, we are building relationships with organisations that strengthen society.
We will use digital technologies, in a research-informed way, to enhance our students’ learning and experience, to provide learning opportunities, to enhance our research activity and tackle global challenges, and to improve our infrastructure.
This has always been at our core as an institution, but we will be more proactive in ensuring that these values drive forward all our strategies, plans and policies.
We have always been a university that equally values education and research, believing that one enhances the other. We work as a community, based on collegiality. Freedom of speech within the law and freedom of inquiry are fundamental. We are outward looking; we embrace change and are willing to do things differently and see things differently.
We value excellence and we support potential, wherever it may be found.
