By 2020 The University of Manchester aims to be one of top 25 research universities in the world.
In November 2011 we published our Manchester 2020 strategic vision document. Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell, President and Vice-Chancellor of The University of Manchester, is spearheading this vision, which aims to make our institution one of the top 25 research universities in the world by 2020.
In accordance with this vision we will be known worldwide as a place where the highest academic values and educational innovation are cherished, where research prospers and makes a real difference, and where the fruits of scholarship resonate throughout society.
The vision is based around our three core goals of world-class research, outstanding learning and student experience, and social responsibility
The Manchester 2020 strategic vision document builds on the aims set out by its predecessor, the Manchester 2015 Agenda, which established a blueprint for the newly formed University of Manchester following the merger of the Victoria University of Manchester and UMIST in 2004.
