Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the Faculty of Science

We are committed to providing an inclusive environment for all staff and students to enable them to achieve their potential. 

We welcome applications from all persons and offers of work and study are made solely on the basis of merit.

The Neurodiversity Employment Opportunity (NEO) Programme is a new initiative being piloted within the Faculty of Science. The project aims to support neurodivergent individuals to access work opportunities.

In addition to implementing the University's Equality and Diversity strategies, our schools also offer:

• paid maternity leave for Home/EU postgraduate research students
• informal flexible working
• reduced teaching and administration duties for staff returning from maternity leave
• School meetings, events and training held in core hours

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committees

Each School contains an active Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee and outreach programme aimed at, amongst other things, improving the number of women who study science at all levels. 

They have representation from academic, technical, research and administrative staff together with undergraduate and postgraduate students.
