Data Digital & IT Programme

We deliver and support the Information Technology used by our University to enable our students, staff and visitors to learn and work by delivering continuous improvement through innovative solutions and collaborative working to support the evolving learner.

As well as the core IT systems, tools and services that keep Leeds Beckett University running day-to-day, we aim to deliver an innovative, distinctive and positive experience for students and staff who use our facilities by enabling connected learning while ensuring our services are operating to a green and sustainable model, overseen by a robust governance process and operational excellence in all we do.

The DDI Programme is a key strategic initiative approved by the University’s Executive Team (UET). Approval for the mobilisation phase of this programme was received, following an in-depth strategic analysis in June 2022. Key points from this strategy include:

• LBU is targeting becoming a truly digital, better connected and more efficient University which is centered around providing a seamless student experience. This needs to be underpinned by reliable and secure processes, technology and data.
• To support this future vision, the University must embrace the use of digital technology and automation, rationalise and consolidate existing tooling and applications and increase the security of the IT estate.
