Strategic Plan

a new Strategic Plan for a university for the future

Deusto 2023-2026

The University is already prepared for the future. Deusto starts a new era with the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. In line with the motto "People who transform the world", the project is structured around three key ideas that define what the University aims to become in the coming years:

  • A people-centred university
  • A transformational university that also transforms itself
  • A university for a fairer society

Today, universities play a key role, both in educating people and citizens, and in developing new knowledge to serve society, creating opinion and contributing to defining public policies.

Deusto's aim is to actively contribute in this regard, and to do so in collaboration with others, from a unique and differentiated style that puts people at its very centre and Christian and human values as the enduring pillars of our activities. Hence, the plan has been designed in line with the objectives of the networks of Jesuit universities of which Deusto is a member and with rest of the Basque University System, in which Deusto is actively involved.
