Equality, Diversity and Inclusion contacts

This page connects you with essential EDI contacts within the Faculty of Life Sciences community. Whether you're a student, staff, or from beyond the university, discover contacts who work to create an inclusive and equitable academic environment in the faculty.

The Faculty recognises the value of every individual and aims to create an environment that respects the diversity of staff and students and enables them to achieve their full potential.

No individual will be unjustifiably discriminated against and the Faculty of Life Sciences acknowledges the following basic rights for all members:

  • to be treated with respect and dignity
  • to be treated fairly with regard to all procedures, assessments and choice
  • to receive encouragement to reach their full potential

It is our aim to ensure that we actively promote a positive, inspiring and inclusive environment for all of our staff and students regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation or disability.

The Faculty of Life Sciences fully supports the Athena SWAN charter to promote the careers of women in science.
