The aim of the Strategic Framework is to guide SU’s future positioning, direct SU’s strategy and illustrate where and how the University is positioned. The six core strategic themes provide a framework for further planning. This detailed planning forms part of the annual Institutional Plan and serves to integrate and effectively coordinate SU’s institutional strategy, priorities and goals. The respective environmental plans of all the responsibility centres, faculties and professional administrative support services will be aligned with this strategic framework and the Institutional Plan. 

The document below provides the complete strategic framework, approach, processes, context and overall journey that led to the development of the Vision 2040 and Strategic Framework.
