We are an anchor institution across our geographic footprint in Scotland and, jointly with our London Campus, UWS is a formidable and internationally-leading force in research, innovation, and in the provision of undergraduate, postgraduate and research degree education.
We have achieved considerable success in developing the diversity of the UWS community and with growth in student numbers across our Scottish campuses and in London, we are entering an exciting period of transformation. We are investing in growing talent and recruiting academic and professional services staff across a range of disciplines.

New colleagues on teaching and research or research-only contracts are thus expected to have a PhD or equivalent degree, and a track record of internationally-excellent, peer-reviewed outputs according to Research Excellence Framework 2021 (REF2021).
UWS Strategy 2030
UWS is driving an ambitious strategy for impactful research and innovation, aligned with our high-quality learning and teaching. All with a global engagement agenda to meet the needs of the 21st century workplace.
Strategy 2030 launched in Spring 2025 and was developed in consultation with colleagues across the University, to gain their views on UWS’s strengths, the challenges we may face in the future, and what we want to achieve by 2030.
Strategy 2030 also documents our University values, a set of values that were established by our community for our community. Our values will guide how we work together, achieving our goals and fulfilling our purpose.
