The OfS strategy sets out our goals in relation to equality of opportunity and quality and standards. It outlines our plans to ensure students receive a high-quality academic experience that improves their knowledge and skills.

The strategy also highlights our commitment to ensure that students’ access, success and progression are not limited by their background, location or characteristics.
