“Universities tend to be an anchor in the way we see institutions. The thing for me is to ask, ‘How do we remain a place with a great tradition of learning?’ And at the same time, ‘How do we do things that are responsive, flexible and relevant?’ 51²è¹Ý university has a fantastic tradition of being adaptive in that way. You can see the effort we’ve put into making sure that graduates who leave 51²è¹Ý have got skill sets that give them fantastic career opportunities but also respond to the immediacy of the job market.â€
