Looking forward, Queen’s has committed to an ambitious Strategy 2030, supported by major investments in infrastructure and people.

This will be implemented in the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences through new Academic Plans, underpinned by new academic posts, critical to the delivery of our vision. 

Our Strategy aligns to major investments through the Innovation Pillars of the Belfast Region City Deal (BRCD) that centre on data science, digital technologies and clinical healthcare. 

Additional investments in our Core Technology Units and the new KN Cheung SK Chin InterSim Centre ensure that we support and broaden educational and research opportunities for students and staff, whilst enhancing research capabilities, global reputation and partnerships across the life sciences.

OUR SCHOOLS AND ETHOS. 

Our Schools are the custodians of our strategy, aligning to deliver our education and research programmes and overseeing the evolution of our culture and behaviours.

They nurture and develop our people and attract new talent to support our goals and long-term ambitions.

Our education programmes aim to ensure our graduates are future-ready, with a global outlook and the skills needed to contribute to the health and well-being of our communities and the planet we live on.  

We strive to enhance the quality and impact of what we do through Team Science, centred on a collaborative ethos founded on agile engagement and enduring partnerships locally and globally. 

Integrity, openness, and innovation provide the bedrock for impactful collaborations that seed enduring partnerships to tackle local and global challenges. For example, Faculty staff and students made significant contributions to managing the societal impacts of the pandemic based on our culture of collaboration, resilience and collegiality in research and education.
