The connection between our local and international roles also extends into our research in disciplines. In infectious diseases, where our understanding of some of the world’s greatest challenges, together with our longstanding partnerships with National Health Service (NHS) and government organisations within and beyond our city region, enabled the University to play an influential role in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and in establishing Liverpool’s globally-connected Pandemic Institute.
Our priorities include expanding our range of strategic partnerships with other world-class institutions in academia, business, and the public sector, while extending the scope and impact of the valued partnerships we already have in place. We will embed a global mindset across the University, establishing and supporting new aspirations for international engagement, and further internationalising our curriculum, student experience and graduate employability. And our student body will become more globally diverse, with an education programme and student recruitment tailored to a wider range of countries and regions.
