The Environment
The Environment
Where are we now?
• A modern, professional university – Broad portfolio of degrees, professional
– Strong focus on employability
– Applied research
– Good links with business / industry
• applications grew strongly to 2011/12• student retention increased• diverse student community • graduate employment rates strong, but < Scottish average• international student numbers in Edinburgh have fallen• RUK student numbers have fallen• overseas delivered student numbers growing strongly• research income down (£4.9m to £3.4m)• commercial income up (£5.7m to £8.5m)
Solid Foundations
Initial observations
• Enthusiastic committed staff • Strong commitment to students• Good pedagogic innovation • Research / industrial engagement• Strong TN profile
• Income flat lining• International students here low • R – T Links fractured?• Academic strategy as core?• Process driven?
What staff have said to me
• Good colleagues• Good place to work• Strong commitment to students;• Valuable education … pride
• Want clarity about priorities• Want transparency around investment • Career development • R & T disconnected; R not prioritised• Lack of senior team visibility• Want clarity about DM
• League tables – real disappointment
