Race Equality

Racism and discrimination have no place in society and no place on our campus. Our staff and students have the right to work and study in a positive, professional and safe environment and we are committed to supporting them to thrive against a background of respect for the experiences, abilities and skills of all individuals. We recognise that this commitment, on its own, is not enough, and we are striving to make a difference with our ongoing work.

Race Equality Charter (REC)

The University signed up to Advance HE's Race Equality Charter (REC) in February 2021, with the explicit goal of eliminating any racial disparities for staff and students and achieving race equity on campus. The REC provides a framework to help the university reflect on institutional and cultural barriers standing in the way of minority ethnic staff and students. The University applied for the REC Bronze Award in November 2023 and successfully gained the award in February 2024.
