Strategic Plan 2008-2012
The University of Canberra's strategic plan 2008 - 2012 consists of five key components.
- Strategic Plan
- The Campus Masterplan
- Academic Plan
- Seven Capability Plans; and
- Operational Plans for Faculties and Administrative Units.
To ensure effective implementation of the strategic plan, lower level plans align with the five key strategies of the University and the 39 Steps of the strategic plan. All UC plans are developed in consultation with key stakeholders and are approved by the University Council as well as other governing committees.
At the University of Canberra, strategy is used as a driver for change, improvement and sustainability.
