Strategic Plan

The UOC Strategic Plan is the road map that accompanies the University's strategy and helps prioritize decision making.

The UOC’s current strategic plan encompasses the period 2014-2020. It is structured in five areas, which are implemented through 17 strategic objectives.

The deployment of the Strategic Plan has been divided into two stages: 

• This defines how the UOC organizes the work, how it manages resources efficiently to contribute to the sustainability of the organization, how it commits to the development of professionals and their career and how it fosters accountability, recognition of success and the social awareness of the institution.

• This covers all projects at the implementation and/or design stage that impact integrally on activity, students, tools and the education model. Continuous improvement as a quality constant in the education and service process.

• This encompasses long-term action plans aimed at rethinking the education and service model from a global and ubiquitous perspective that has to improve the UOC's social contribution and constitute a competitive advantage.

• This groups the spheres that bind us together with society, that make the institution's value contribution more effective and strengthen the relational ecosystem, institutional presence and positioning of the institution.

• This sets out the action plans that help define (brand/alliances), structure (business) and ensure (processes) the continuous and sustainable increased international presence of the UOC.

• This fosters action plans designed to improve research, transfer and innovation at the UOC to strengthen the commitment to competitiveness and employability.

Promote talent, organization of work, management of resources, technology, and a commitment to professional development, while delivering accountability, recognition of achievements and social awareness, and ensuring the institution’s growth and sustainability.

Improve the educational model’s effectiveness and the service model’s efficiency to help boost the development of students’ personal and professional skills, while assuring the quality of the learning experience.

Drive the UOC’s transformation toward a global university with greater social impact and position it in the international arena, fostering responsible research and innovation, and open knowledge.

Improve research and innovation by developing transdisciplinary research, and foster transfer and entrepreneurship through an active relationship with the different stakeholders in society.
