How do I turn off animations?

What's new

Good news

We have appointed a new Associate Director of EDI- Abbi Mottram. Abbi's start date will be announced as soon as possible.

By promoting equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), we seek to develop further as a learning organisation and as the best possible place to work and study.

EDI is integral to our culture and at the core of how we work with all members of our community. This allows us to draw together our EDI vision, principles and objectives and ensure these are embedded within our policies, frameworks and the activity of university life.
