Following his first year in office as Vice-Chancellor (VC), Prof Mosa Moshabela shares Strategy 2030 for the period 2026 to 2030 and is asking the UCT community for feedback.

Strategy 2030 was developed with input from the executive, and strategy process update presentations were conducted across the community from April 2025 onwards and these continue to be shared across the community. These update information sessions share the VC’s and executives’ rationale which informed the strategy.

Two key elements of Vision 2030 will remain: our vision and purpose statement ‘to unleash human potential for a fair and just society’; and our three pillars of transformation, excellence and sustainability.

As part of Strategy 2030 four missions speak to UCT’s evolution over the last nearly 200 years: 

1. Teaching and Learning
2. Research and Internationalisation
3. Societal and Social Responsiveness
4. Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

The fourth mission is new. It builds on work done across the institution over the past 30 years.
