Planning for Retirement

Planning for retirement is part of an overall career management strategy for all employees. Whilst the notion of a traditional retirement age of 65 is no longer relevant since the abolition of compulsory retirement, employees still need to plan for their eventual separation from the University.  A number of Transition to Retirement Options are available.
