Aims
External facing information must represent the corporate
brand of the University.
Overseas students will have access to systems and
services comparable to those provided to home-based
students.
New approaches and models for international service
delivery of information for teaching and learning are
enabled taking advantage of the potential of the on and
off campus network environment.
To achieve the highest organisational standards
The Information Strategy will support continued
engagement with external agencies and/or individuals
while ensuring security of information where relevant.
