University of Salford Strategy 2025-2030
Our new strategy - ‘Innovating to Enrich Lives’ - frames how we will work as an inclusive community to take our ethos into the next five years and beyond. We will achieve this through fostering a collaborative, inclusive and purposeful culture. Enquiry, learning and action will be at the heart of all that we do.
We believe this will lead to outstanding quality and world-changing outcomes that will enable:
- our students to flourish and contribute to society,
- our colleagues to be members of an organisation that strives for social justice in how we operate,
- the development of new knowledge and advanced technology and practice,
- the University community to be fully embedded in contributing to the broader community of which we are part.
Ultimately, our goal is innovating towards a more sustainable, equitable, just, healthy, creative and prosperous society.
