Diversity and Equality

To embrace diversity by promoting and maintaining an inclusive and supportive work and study environment that enables all members of our University community to achieve their full potential.
Mission statement

We believe that our purpose, aims and values set out in our University Strategy will be best achieved if we recruit students and staff at all levels of responsibility from the national, regional and international communities that we serve and which influence our University. We aim to make full use of the talents and resources of everyone within our university community.

We are fully committed to eliminating discrimination and actively promoting equality of opportunity for our staff and students in line with our University Strategy. We believe that where equality of opportunity exists all staff and students work in a more rewarding and less stressful environment, one where prejudice and harassment are not accepted, and one more likely to enhance performance and achievement.

We will seek to promote and maintain an inclusive and supportive work and study environment that respects the dignity of staff and students and assists all members of our University community to achieve their full potential.
