Strategic planning for the University of
St Andrews
Welcome to the strategic planning pages at the University of St Andrews.
The University strategic plan for 2008-2018 provides a framework for the many strategic and operational decisions that will occur at various levels across this institution and identifies the fundamental strategic aims for the next ten years.
The University's planning process has developed significantly in the recent past in that it has become much more incisive, integrated through a set of supporting strategies and linked to key performance indicators. The current version of the strategic plan is the culmination of the efforts of many working groups with diversified membership as well as the contributions of those staff who participated in the Open Meetings.
The list of strategic plans and supporting strategies provides links to the latest versions of various University documents, some of which may be available to University of St Andrews users only. University staff can access the additional information by selecting the appropriate link and entering their username and password.
