This project introduces a university-wide strategy to modernise platforms, strengthen data governance, and build staff capability - ensuring data becomes a trusted, strategic asset.
Our Vision
Our vision is to transform how data is managed, accessed, and used across the university by creating a unified, scalable, and secure data environment supported by modern infrastructure and clear data governance.
This transformation will underpin the university’s digital and data strategy, enabling a data-driven culture where insights are timely, trusted, and actionable.
Objectives and Goals
The university holds a wealth of data. The project will deliver strategic impact by integrating systems, improving data quality, and enabling faster, more sophisticated analysis. Key goals include:
- Implementing a modern data infrastructure
- Automating manual processes
- Enhancing data literacy
- Providing access to advanced analytical tools
Initial phases will focus on infrastructure setup and data governance frameworks, followed by the rollout of enhanced reporting and analytics capabilities. Ultimately, the project will support institutional growth, improve operational efficiency, and enable informed decision-making at all levels.
