Equality, diversity and inclusivity

Equality, diversity and inclusivity underpin the University's core values.

Equality, diversity and inclusivity (EDI) underpin our core values. We are working to ensure that our commitment to equality is reflected in the behaviour, values and practices throughout the University. We are actively seeking to promote a culture where discrimination, bullying and harassment of any student or member of staff is unacceptable.
