Academic Transformation Operating Model (ATOM)

ATOM

ATOM is a multi-year programme to enhance the student academic journey at UL. It will transform and streamline UL's academic operating model, allowing UL to operate more sustainably at scale with reduced risk. ATOM is part of the university's continuous improvement approach to maintaining and ensuring a high-quality academic journey and providing an outstanding university experience for all UL students.

Timeline

The UL Governing Authority approved ATOM in 2026, and the programme team is working to a five-year timeline, at the end of which the outcomes will be an enhanced academic operating model supported by a robust culture and governance, and a standardised approach to systems and processes. 

Project Management and Stakeholder Engagement

The ATOM programme team comprises academic staff, professional teams, subject matter experts, and student representation to ensure broad stakeholder input.

Throughout all phases of the project, ATOM leads are liaising with and seeking input from the Executive Committee, Academic Council, Governing Authority, Faculty Learning and Teaching Committees, Digital Education Forum, Student Life and other internal and external stakeholders as appropriate.
