Improving our services

Continuous improvement will allow us to deliver the best possible service to students and other areas of the University. A unified administration is key to achieving this. In support of unifying our administration other work is on-going.

Here's an overview of some of the major initiatives that are taking and have taken place to improve the way that we work.

  • Sunrise Project - improving the processes and systems that support distance learning students.

Our values and how we behave

Improving the way that we work is dependant not only on processes, systems and policies, but also on what we, as employees, value and how we behave. Find out more about values and behaviour.

Why Professional Services?

"The biggest barrier to an effective service is a disjointed service.  We cannot allow the organisational boundaries between offices within the Corporate Services and between the Colleges, Schools and Departments, to prevent us from working together to ensure that we offer continually improving services focused on the needs of the student, the lecturer and the researcher."

Dave Hall, Registrar and Secretary
