Education Strategic Action Plan
World-ready education and student success
Vision 2035 and Strategic Plan 2030
Horizon 1 (2025-2027)
Strategic Action Plans (SAPs) are the University’s primary tool for strategy execution. Each SAP aligns to one of the six strategic themes within the UOW Strategic Plan 2030 and defines a prioritised set of initiatives, accountabilities and measures of success to support disciplined and coordinated delivery.
This page outlines the Horizon 1 initiatives that form UOW’s Education Strategic Action Plan (2026-2027). These initiatives focus on establishing and strengthening critical foundations and enabling conditions for long-term success in delivering world-ready education and enhancing student success.
