We are proud to have a diverse community of staff and students at our University, and in order to ensure that we enable our members to succeed to their full potential, we want all of our staff to have a baseline knowledge of equality, diversity and inclusion.

The course covers our legal requirements and offers an introduction into how equality, diversity and inclusion can affect our University. It is mandatory for all staff and postgraduate research students.

Our ultimate goal with this module is to equip our staff with the knowledge and tools they need to remove barriers that some people may face, so that more people can reach their full potential in their University journey and feel able to thrive and flourish.
