It will evolve and change as we begin this exciting journey together. There are infinite possibilities.Our role as TU Dublin is to engage our stakeholders – our students, staff, communities, industry and governments – in solving some of the world’s most pressing issues, and being ready to take advantage of opportunities that arise. Our vision is to create a better world together. The three pillars of our strategy are People, Planet and Partnership.We have a culture that cares for people.

We actively reach out and reach in to connect people, to share competencies, join ideas, create synergies and unearth new opportunities. We will actively seek to increase and deepen our partnership all over the world, on the understanding that the complex problems of today are solved together. Our approach is We Can, We Will, We Do.To achieve our strategic ambitions, set out in our TU Dublin Strategic Intent 2030 document, the University has undertaken an organisational design strategy and implementation project to create a multi-campus university that will deliver a dynamic education model for the future. In Spring 2020, TU Dublin, in conjunction with external advisors Crowe and PA Consulting, developed a three-phased approach to our organisational design project. Phase 1 of this project has been completed with a new high-level design published in November 2020. This was supported by a four-month consultation and validation period involving a wide range of internal stakeholders and external partners.This high-level design provides the foundations for the future of TU Dublin. It describes a university-wide design and presents models within each of the academic and professional service units and dependencies and recommendations for subsequent phases. Phase 2 of the project – the development of detailed designs for the university and its constituent parts – began in December 2020. Phase 3 of the project will commence once Phase 2 has been completed and involves planning and delivering an implementation strategy to ensure that the new organisational design is successfully delivered across the university.
