Connected

Our commitment

Connected is a decadal strategy that sets out the long-term ambitions and objectives for the University of Canberra. At its core is an explicit commitment to our staff and students, to our place in Canberra and the region.


Ambition

We are the university for Australia’s capital region. We will be the most accessible university in Australian and a global leader in driving equality of opportunity.

Our ambition to be the most accessible university in Australia is strongly connected to our values and reason for being. We have enabled a diverse range of students to overcome their first hurdle of entering university, and we will continue to prioritise this ambition. With two in five of our undergraduate students being first in their family to attend university, we are not only raising ambitions, we are transforming lives. We have a strong track record in graduate employability and our leadership in work integrated learning demonstrates our ongoing commitment to building career pathways.


Approach

We have rejuvenated our approach to defining and realising the bold ambitions of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø. With renewed energy and clarity, we are embracing agility and responsiveness – adapting to evolving stakeholder needs and a dynamic external landscape – while remaining steadfast in our commitment to equality of opportunity.
