The Campus Office of Planning and Institutional Research (COPIR) serves the campus community and its wider stakeholders by providing reliable data, strategic insight, and analytical support to inform decision-making at all levels.

Our primary role is to advance institutional effectiveness through two core functions: institutional research and strategic and operational planning. We design and deliver data-driven studies, performance analyses, surveys, and reporting that reveal key trends and outcomes across teaching, learning, research, and administration. Additionally, we support the development, implementation, and monitoring of the University’s strategic priorities, ensuring alignment between long-term goals and the campus’s day-to-day operations.

Collaboration is central to our work. We partner with faculties, departments, administrative units, and external stakeholders to understand information needs, collaborate on solutions, and strengthen a culture of evidence-based planning. Through these partnerships, we help translate data into actionable insight, supporting continuous improvement in institutional performance.

Grounded in analytical rigour, data integrity, and service excellence, COPIR is committed to enabling informed choices that shape the University’s future.
