Brookes Digital

What Do We Mean by “Digital”?

Digital means different things to different people. For some, it’s about using technology to simplify tasks and bring people together. For others, it’s about using data and tools to design smarter solutions. 

We’re using digital to:

• Enhance the student and staff experience

• Deliver world-leading education and research

• Equip students for future careers

• Create an inclusive, accessible environment where everyone can thrive

Our Priorities (Next 18 Months)

We’re focusing on what matters most:

• Getting the basics right – reliable systems, fresh tools, and better connectivity

• Building digital confidence – helping students and staff develop the skills they need

• Simplifying systems – making it easier to find what you need, when you need it

Designed With You, For You

We’re taking a student and staff-first approach. That means involving you in the design and delivery of digital initiatives. Your feedback, ideas, and experiences are shaping this strategy.

We’re building on existing work, including:

• The Vice-Chancellor Group’s Turnaround Programme

• Major infrastructure upgrades already underway

Everyone Has a Role to Play

Success depends on all of us. That means:

• Ongoing investment in digitals spaces for both staff and students

• Seizing opportunities to grow our digital skills

• Supporting innovation across the University

• Creating spaces where we can listen and understand your needs

The Digital Strategy 2023–2028 was developed with input from across individuals and teams at Oxford Brookes.
