University Annual Plan 2019/20
Our University Annual Plan 2019/20 shows how the
University will continue, over this academic year, to deliver the objectives
set out in our Strategy 2020.
Our top priorities for this year, as
highlighted in the plan, are:
·
We
will increase our proportion of MD20 entrants to 13% and improve retention
of these students to at least 90%
·
We
will grow our taught and research student population, through the provision of
attractive demand-led programmes, quality teaching and excellent support
·
We
will strengthen the student voice and Edinburgh Napier community, building pride
and confidence in everyone
·
We
will launch a Student Centre on each campus to increase awareness and access to
our student support services to ensure our students are well supported and have
an enhanced student experience
·
We
will continue to enhance our teaching quality for students by embracing new and
innovative approaches to learning and teaching through the provision of
tailored support for all teaching staff, including peer review
·
We
will see an increase in the number of students accessing Student Futures
services and the number of high-quality work placements offered
·
We
will increase on-campus international students and the contribution from TNE
and Online provision, through new programme development and effective management
of strategic partnership
·
We will be recognised as a great place to work, with an employee engagement
score of at least 80%
·
We
will produce excellent REF submissions, optimised through increased growth in
the proportion of staff holding externally funded income, increasing volume and
quality of research outputs, intensity and impact
·
We
will increase our external profile through engagement with local and national
business, developing a focussed approach to growing income from knowledge
exchange
Beyond
these, the plan is then structured into commitments and actions aligned to our
four strategic objectives:
·
Grow
our academic reputation
·
Deliver
an excellent personalised student experience
·
Build
innovation, enterprise and citizenship
·
Internationalise
our work
