Strategy from 2015-2025
UNSW has embarked upon an extensive consultation process as part of an ambitious agenda which will see the University into 2025.
This process started with a call for ideas and suggestions in February 2015 and was formalised into a document known as the ‘Green Paper’ in April 2015.
The submissions and feedback from the Green Paper have been refined and integrated in the University’s draft strategy, the ‘White Paper’ which was released in July 2015.
How the University plans to implement the ambitions in the White Paper was announced in the Strategic Document that was released in October 2015.
This is the strategy that will guide UNSW towards 2025.
