University Strategy and Plans

Strategic Plan 2013-2017
Breakthrough: the University of Canberra's Strategic Plan 2013-2017
Breakthrough: 2013-2017 is conceived as the second quinquennium of a ten year planning phase which commenced with the Strategic Plan 2008-2012. An Environmental Scan was conducted in 2012 as part of the preparation for Breakthrough.
The University of Canberra's strategic plan 2013 - 2017 consists of three key layers.
- Strategic Plan
- Foundation Plans: Education Plan, Research Plan, Internationalisation Plan
- Operational Plans for Faculties and Administrative Units.
To ensure effective implementation of the strategic plan, lower level plans align with the 3 key objectives of the University’s 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.
