3 Our Mission Our Vision We are a dynamic, global and transformational University Group. Creating better futures, we will be world leading in all that we do. The Coventry University Group Corporate Strategy marks the next evolution in the development of the University Group through which we will enhance our position as a leading provider of innovative education and impactful research both nationally and internationally. 04 Our Vision Since 2010 Coventry University has undertaken an evolutionary transformation. Strategic initiatives such as our London Campus, Coventry University College and the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering have been successfully delivered alongside investment in campus regeneration, including our state-of-the-art Engineering and Computing building and Student Hub. A focus on growth and continuous improvement in teaching and learning, research and internationalisation has seen the University rise rapidly in both the Guardian University rankings from 75th to 15th and in the Times Higher Education league tables from 76th to 42nd. This reflects our position as a leading institution for education and student experience, international student mobility, entrepreneurship and world leading research. Coventry is the leading modern university in the UK. The Coventry University Group of 2015 has: An overall income of 241m (2013/14) delivered through the University and its subsidiaries A population of 18,877 UK/EU students and 7,052 international students studying at our campuses in the UK on undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and research programmes, and 5,655 through our partnerships and joint ventures overseas A University staff of 3,475 people An asset base including our main 33 Acre Coventry Campus, Coventry University College, Technology Park and Coventry University London Campus An international delivery model incorporating 2 joint ventures in Turkey and China and collaborative delivery with 29 partners in 17 countries A group structure including, Coventry University London Campus Ltd, Coventry University College Ltd, Coventry University Enterprises Ltd, CU Services Ltd, Coventry University Social Enterprises CIC and Serious Games International Ltd Building on our success and the delivery of previous plans, the 2021 Strategy supports our mission and values and highlights our strategic priorities for enhancing and evolving; our education and student experience, our research, our role as a global university and our enterprise and innovation drive. These strategic priorities are underpinned by enabling strategies that support our people and organisational development, infrastructure and investment and corporate and social responsibility. Our governing body brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the development and strategic positioning of the University Group. In the delivery of our 2021 Corporate Strategy we value the support, engagement and challenge of our Governors. Aligned to this is a recognition of the contribution provided by the boards of the subsidiary companies within the University Group. We recognise the importance of effective corporate governance to support both the University Group and the delivery of our strategic priorities, and will further develop our established corporate governance framework. By the end of the 2021 Corporate Strategy period the Coventry University Group will have: An annual turnover of 445m delivered through the University and its subsidiaries 80,000 UK, EU and international students studying with the University on undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and research programmes and through our international joint ventures and partnerships overseas Be recognised as a provider of global education in six continents Almost 60,000 interactions with SMEs through our commercial activity Invested a total of 353m to support our activities An increased asset base that will include: On the Coventry Campus: a new Health & Life Sciences building, a new Research & Global University Hub, new student accommodation, extensions to our Faculties of Arts & Humanities, Engineering, Environment & Computing, Business & Law, and the expansion of the Technology Park The development of two further campuses for Coventry University College within the UK and the expansion of Coventry University London Campus An online fully distance learning campus An international delivery model with four Joint Venture initiatives around the globe 1,000 University Group staff with a PhD supporting up to 2,500 research students Five University Research Centres with a 4* Research Excellence Framework (REF) rating and supported by a portfolio of Faculty Research Centres The landscape of higher education is evolving. It will continue to change as a result of the policies of the new UK government in relation to positioning of universities; the dynamics of research and enterprise and innovation funding; the approach to international student visas; and the undoubted national and global competition in higher education. In view of this evolving landscape we will undertake a review of the Corporate Strategy Key Metrics during 2017/2018 to ensure we remain on target to achieve our ambitions. The coming years will be challenging but exciting. Our approach to partnership delivery, entrepreneurship and financial and operational sustainability combined with a delivery and implementation focus that is fast paced and responsive, reflects The Coventry Way. This will ensure that we address these challenges through our 2021 Strategy and achieve transformational growth. Prof John Latham Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer Mr Stephen Parker Chair of the Board of Governors

4 The Coventry Way We are a leading edge University Group with a dynamic operation, which is globally enabled and technologically advanced. Our Corporate Strategy sets out our ambition for transformational growth as a sector leader in Higher Education. The Coventry University Group is known for providing a ground-breaking high-quality learning experience for all of its students; delivering research which is focussed on excellence with impact in areas of niche dominance; a commitment to internationalisation in student recruitment, partnership and collaborative working, alongside a global curriculum and staff and student mobility; and a real business-engaged model of enterprise and innovation. While we have become a global institution we respect our history. From being a College of Design in 1843 through to our amalgamation with Lanchester College of Technology and Rugby College of Engineering Technology to becoming a Polytechnic and, subsequently, a University in Our origins in Coventry as an industrial city serve as a reminder of the need to ensure that our professional and vocational courses reflect the needs of individuals and employers, that our research should have originality, significance and rigour with a world-leading reputation, and that our engagement with business in enterprise and innovation should support social and economic prosperity all within a local, national and international knowledge economy. We recognise that our staff are central to the University s success and will continue to build the capacity and capability of our people to achieve impact on the quality of teaching and learning, research outputs and impact, enterprise development and our ability to operate globally. We will be an employer of choice and rated nationally as one of the best places to work. Our reputation reflects an institution that is confident in its mission, in itself and in its consistent execution and delivery of objectives. Through an approach that is partnership driven, entrepreneurial and sustainable, both financially and operationally, we will be recognised within the higher education and business sectors as leading edge and disruptive through innovation. The 2021 Corporate Strategy builds upon our achievements and accolades since 2010, namely: University of the Year for Student Experience The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2015 The Queen s Award for Enterprise in International Trade 2015 Award for student employability at the Guardian University Awards 2015 Ranked No.15 UK University Guardian University Guide 2016 The UK s Top Modern University in all three major UK rankings (The 2016 Complete University Guide, Guardian League Table 2015 and The Times and Sunday Times 2015) An improved rating in the Research Excellence Framework 2014 with research that is world leading Entrepreneurial University of the Year in 2011 It is this, combined with an effective delivery model and fast paced implementation focus, that encapsulates The Coventry Way. 06 The Coventry Way

6 Cumulative Key Metrics to 2021 Undergraduate Education and Student Experience We will be recognised by our students and employers for providing a high-quality education and learning experience. 10 Education and Student Experience We will be recognised by our students and employers for providing a high-quality education and learning experience. We will demonstrate our core value of excellence in education and student engagement by reflecting the changing nature of the learning experience across centres of excellence including our Coventry Campus, our Coventry University London Campus (the most successful capital-based campus of any regional University), our Coventry University College operations and within our international partnerships and joint ventures. We will continue to respond to demand for an increase in flexible modes of study, the enhancement of blended and online learning and growth in postgraduate education with our special emphasis on real world experience. Responding to new ways of working and utilising emerging technologies we will deliver an educational and student experience that is research inspired, embeds employability and community responsibility, supports creativity and enterprise and provides multicultural and international engagement within enhanced and stimulating learning environments and study spaces. By 2021 we expect the student education landscape to have changed and to be characterised in the following way: An increased focus on the quality and value of higher education, including recognition of universities offering the highest quality teaching and resultant graduate employment linked to fees and the student loan system Expansion in degree apprenticeships, cementing the relationship between higher education and industry A lifting of the cap on student numbers Developments in new ways of working, utilising emerging technologies and a drive to flip the classroom A significant increase in flexible modes of study, blended and online learning and postgraduate education Through our Education and Student Experience strategy we will ensure that our graduates are confident citizens who can demonstrate a range of individual, collaborative, and professional skills and attributes. Building upon our success we will provide our students with a transformative learning experience, preparing them to make significant contributions to their professions and the economy and to be a creative force in a rapidly evolving world Overall Student satisfaction % of taught sessions described as passionate students engaged in career enhancing extra-curricular activity Equality of attainment, BME, gender, disability, age, fee status Equality The Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) 85% Top 25% in all measures Postgraduate taught students 90 95% Completion Overall Student Satisfaction 90% Percentage of students ranking modules intellectually stimulating 90% DLHE Our Education Strategy is based around six pillars of education and student experience: Research inspired teaching Embedded employability Creativity and enterprise Multicultural and international engagement Community contribution and responsibility Innovation and digital fluency We will offer an excellent multi-site, coherent portfolio which is research informed and global in its orientation. It will include opportunities for multicentre and multi method delivery; study in more than one location; quality research methods training and a programme of relevant employment related activities. The emphasis will be on exploration, debate, critical evaluation and engagement rather than the passive transmission of knowledge. We will continue to ensure the highest quality experience for all our students ensuring they are taught by highly motivated, committed and passionate staff who are at the forefront of their disciplines. We will have parity of esteem for teaching and research through recognising and rewarding excellent teachers, promoting the opportunities for staff to develop, encouraging innovation in teaching with opportunities for pedagogic development, and embedding research in teaching. Aligned to our Education Strategy we will develop a University Group-wide Postgraduate (PGT) Strategy that will inform, and be informed by, our strategic priorities. It will support postgraduate recruitment and focus attention not only on the needs of students but also the staff and systems that support postgraduate activity. Our PGT courses will include discipline-independent graduate skills, high quality research training and employment related activity. We will place students at the centre of their own learning as active co contributors and equal partners in the creation of shared knowledge and understanding. They will be supported to develop critical thinking, originality, decision-making, and the ability to respond to complex situations, framing decisions through an understanding of concepts and contexts. Our successful PGT graduates will have the necessary qualities to lead and to make a significant difference in their chosen field.

7 Cumulative Key Metrics to 2021 Internationalisation (Global University) We are and will continue to be recognised nationally and internationally by our students and strategic partners for the quality and diversity of our international education experience and student mobility opportunities. We will continue to enhance our international profile in line with our core value of being global in our outlook. Addressing the challenges of preparing graduates for global careers and the generation of knowledge on global issues. We will maintain our position as the leading UK University for student mobility and internationalisation experience. We will deliver growth in student numbers at our UK campuses and overseas through partnership, collaborative delivery and joint ventures.

8 Cumulative Key Metrics to 2021 Trading Subsidiary Turnover Enterprise and Innovation We are and will continue to be recognised locally, nationally and internationally by our strategic business partners and governments as an enterprising and innovative University. We are and we will continue to be innovative, enterprising and entrepreneurial. As a businessengaged University we will continue to develop strategic level collaboration with businesses on a local, national and global scale. We will deliver support to all, from the largest corporates to the Small-and Medium-Sized Enterprises which are a central part of our local and national economies. By 2021 we expect the enterprise and innovation landscape to have changed and to be characterised in the following way: A drive for Universities to generate income from the technology and services that they develop Additional support for the development of University Enterprise Zones A strong national funding programme for innovation with the catapult network now mature with their own sustainable funding profiles Devolved powers for local areas to support and drive local economic growth Through our approach to enterprise and innovation, both within the University and our trading subsidiaries, we will contribute fully to the economic prosperity and knowledge society of Coventry and Warwickshire, the UK and the international economy. Our strategy will support a range of enterprise activities across the University Group, which form part of an integrated portfolio and which enriches our strategic priorities of education, research and globalisation m Number of industry funded PhDs and professional doctorates 13m Revenue generation intellectual property 56m CPD/Consultancy income 20m New business income from national and international knowledge transfer Our strategy is based around six pillars of enterprise and innovation: Knowledge Transfer Intellectual Property Exploitation Supporting new business start-ups and developing existing businesses Social Enterprise Consultancy and professional learning and development programmes Physical infrastructure, facilities and equipment Building on our success of developing largescale strategic business partnerships through the enterprise and innovation strategy we will develop large-scale initiatives from our strategic relationships with key partner companies and other organisations, both in the UK and overseas.

9 Cumulative Key Metrics to 2021 Infrastructure, Investment and Financial Sustainability We will continue to invest in infrastructure to underpin the excellence of our activities with world class spaces for education of students, for research and for enterprise. We will make good use of the legacy of the built estate from the University s past where we can continue or remodel buildings to deliver a contemporary and efficient service. Since 2007 the University has been undertaking on an ambitious redevelopment of its Estate in the first phase of our Estates Strategy. This investment has seen significant improvement in both existing infrastructure and new developments. As we look to build on this position of strength, we aim to create a state-of-the-art campus network for our students, staff and visitors. Our blueprint for our campuses meets the emerging new requirements in pedagogy, research and student experience. It also provides flexibility to meet the demands of the future. We are committed to the principles of environmental responsibility and sustainability, and will invest in appropriate facilities and technologies so that we can minimise energy consumption, reduce our carbon footprint and can account for such to our stakeholders. By 2021 we expect the infrastructure and investment profiles of the sector to have changed significantly so that: Universities will have doubled their investment in their campuses to remain attractive to students whose choices and satisfaction levels will be significantly affected by their perception of the quality of the built environment Education will require more face-to-face engagement in learning space with teachers and fellow students, and space for group and individual learning Around two thirds of students will require purposebuilt, hotel-standard student accommodation Universities will have funded at least 80% of their investment from external loan/bond finance or cash generated from operations, not government grants Successful universities will be generating surpluses well above 5% per annum Gearing across the sector will be heading towards 50% Environmental considerations will be major factors in institutional ratings 2.2b Group surplus7% Investment over the planned period 350m EBITDA 14% minimum Our strategy is based around five pillars for investment and infrastructure and finance: Learning spaces flexible enough to match evolving pedagogy Workplace simulation Co-occupation with partners, on or off campus, in the UK or abroad Technology-enabled, for work and leisure Environmental responsibility and sustainability We will therefore invest through new build and refurbishment in space for teaching and learning to cope with a range of delivery patterns. This will mean a balance of specialist and shared or common teaching spaces to support the varied course portfolio. We will match the growth in research activity with both central/shared facilities for research staff and students and with specialist facilities where these are best located, including at partner premises. The City Centre site will be developed as the new front door to the University in Coventry with an integrated complex embodying the link between our education, research, international and enterprise activity. The growth of group activity outside Coventry will be catalysed by investment in facilities to underpin the quality and sustainability across the spectrum. We will maintain a surplus of 7% of income and EBITDA of at least 13% in order to fund an investment programme in excess of 350m over the plan period. We will keep under review the option of further external finance to support our ambitions. 16 Infrustracture, Investment and Financial Sustainability

10 Cumulative Key Metrics to 2021 People and Organisation Development Our staff are key to the University s success and we will continually build their capability and provide an environment that supports excellence.

Enhanced role, performance and progression frameworks for academic and professional services staff A new, single academic framework will provide an integrated approach across Teaching, Research, International and Enterprise arenas. We will develop a Professional Services framework for roles that supports world leading service. 21st Century Working Practices We will develop our working practices to reflect role flexibility; career development; space and environment options; technology optimisation and staff community development opportunities.
