Our enabling strategies

By 2026, our national and international academic peers will see us as partners and thought leaders across our disciplinary strengths. We will support academics to increase the impact of their work and their profile within their fields.

We will influence policy regionally, nationally and internationally with, and for the benefit of, our education and research and its impact. Businesses, employers, and government will see us as a key partner that helps them deliver on their priorities.

We chose to work with Manchester Metropolitan University to deliver Degree Apprenticeships due to their reputation as a leading provider, their fantastic central Manchester location, and because they actively promote and advocate the importance of apprenticeships to the sector, employers and to the government.
