IT strategy - supporting excellence

The University's IT strategy for the next five years was approved by Senate and Council in June 2008.

This is a strategy for the whole University. It is intended to encompass the applications of Information Technology in all areas: departments, faculties, support services and all other organisational structures and groupings.

Therefore all members of the University are stakeholders – students, staff and all others associated with the University of Bristol.

• Read the new Information Technology Strategy (PDF, 390 KB), a presentation (PowerPoint slide show, 4.5 MB) of the strategy, and a presentation of the strategy vision (PowerPoint, 5.8 MB). There is also a draft Development Plan describing priority projects (PDF, 414 KB) (UoB access only)

• Take a look at the scenarios. These are "future days in the life" of staff and students, designed to make you think about how we use IT around the University.  Are you represented there? Do the tools and services described sound useful to you? Are there others you would like to see added?

• Send in your own ideas.  You can do this via the feedback form or by emailing it-strategy-feedback@bristol.ac.uk.

Results from the consultation exercise

• A presentation (PowerPoint slide show, 5.3MB) of the main themes identified in the interviews, focus groups, and student survey is available.
• A report of results from the student survey (PDF, 563 KB) is also available. (UoB access only)
