UWS Strategy 2025
University of the West of Scotland is driving an ambitious strategy for high-quality learning and teaching, and research and innovation, with a global engagement agenda to reflect the needs of the 21st century workplace.
UWS Strategy 2025, launched in February 2020, marks an exciting new chapter for the University. It focuses on the key areas in which the University seeks to flourish over the next few years, giving a picture of what UWS will look like by 2025 and lays the foundation for the University towards 2050.
Strategy 2025 was developed in consultation with colleagues across the University who shared their perspectives on UWS’s strengths, the challenges we may face in the future and what we want to achieve by 2025.
