Equality, diversity and inclusion

The University of Brighton is committed to providing a fair environment that embodies and promotes equality of opportunity. We value the different contributions and experiences of all who make up our community, promoting mutual respect and understanding as well as freedom of thought and expression.

We have held an institutional Athena SWAN Bronze Award since 2013. In 2016 one of only a handful of higher education institutions nationally to achieve an institutional award under the new expanded charter, which recognises success in developing gender equality across all academic disciplines. We are also a member of the Race Equality Charter and are committed to improving the representation, progression and success of minority ethnic staff and students at our university.

We are a proud Stonewall Diversity Champion, a programme which supports and promotes fair practice in relation to the employment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender staff, reaffirming our commitment to equality for LGBT+ staff and students.
