New Core is a University-wide Programme redesigning core Finance, HR, Payroll, and Research Grant Management processes and delivering a new cloud-based system to enhance ways of working for all staff.
Working closely with colleagues across the University, New Core will provide all colleagues with a new online system for more robust management, tracking, and reporting of personal, project, and team tasks and requests; from requesting annual leave to reporting on Research Grant spend.
