Future gazing

The NMITE of 2028 is a shining example of success: confident, proudly rooted in its region and contributing to its civic life, with hundreds of students studying on a range of courses and enjoying NMITE’s distinctive approach to learning.

Our graduates out in the world exemplify our values and demonstrate their skills in their exciting professional engineering careers.

We’ve extended beyond our original city base by operating sites across the county — making an impact within each community we serve and adding layer upon layer of value for students who come through this institution’s doors.

Our highly talented academic staff are among some of the brightest minds known in both higher education and engineering technology from all over the world.

NMITE – Strategic Plan 2023-2028

Our community

By 2028, we will have a diverse community of students, well populated by groups typically underrepresented in engineering education and the professions.

Our students will be:

» building meaningful relationships with industry-leading employers, through inspiring partnerships and real world projects

» proactively contributing to their local communities through a variety of worthwhile extra-curricular activities to help develop invaluable skills and foster positive relationships in the surrounding area

» distinguished by their bold ambition, respect for where they come from, and openness to new ideas, and recognised for their characteristics as global citizens

» proudly acting as citizens of the county and viewed as such by residents, and

» mindful leaders, team players and advocates for sustainability and diversity who are openminded and considerate of consequences.

Our alumni will be enjoying successful careers and be generously contributing back to the institution and the next generation of NMITE students.

Our academic community will be “thought leaders” in new models of engineering education, evidenced by the external outputs they produce.

Our academic and professional services staff will:

» work alongside industry partners in delivering programmes, projects and skills courses, and

» work with high levels of flexibility, and by their influence in the sector.

By 2028, NMITE will be an employer of choice for experienced and talented academic staff — attracting them from traditional institutions and industry.
