Equality, diversity and inclusion
I regard Equality and Diversity as core to the mission of the School of Physics. We need all the best talents in our pursuit of excellence in research and education.
Athena Swan Award
We hold an Athena SWAN Bronze Award and are currently working towards Silver accreditation. Read about our commitment to advancing gender equality in Physics.
EDI Committee
The school’s EDI Committee provides a point of contact for our staff and students to raise issues concerning LGBT, Income, Gender, Disability or Racial inequality issues.
Faces of Physics
Find out from our staff how they’ve benefitted from the university’s schemes to help them to care for children, improve their work-life balance and succeed in their chosen careers.
Juno Practitioner Award
We hold a Juno Practitioner Award, which recognises departments that demonstrate they have taken action to address the under-representation of women in university physics.
Recruitment & Selection
We ask all our staff to complete the Effective Recruitment and Selection course before they begin the hiring process to reduce the potential effects of unconscious bias.
