Inclusive

In 1495 we were founded on the principle of being open to all and dedicated to the pursuit of truth in the services of others. We still have that purpose and continuously work towards a more inclusive community.

The University is fully committed to equality for all its staff and students. Our commitment to inclusion guides our education, our research, and the projects we deliver. We aspire to lead our sector in promoting health and wellbeing and celebrating diversity. We welcome staff and students of all backgrounds and connect with our communities and partners, locally, nationally and internationally.
