Tackling inequalities

For 200 years, we’ve helped to build cohesive communities and shape a more caring, just and inclusive society. This work spans across our education, our research, and our core values. 

We’re committed to being an inclusive university which creates a culture of belonging, supporting our diverse staff and student communities to thrive and achieve their full potential. We create routes to improve social mobility, ensuring higher education and career pathways are open to all.  

Our research delivers impact on a local, national and global level. We support vulnerable children and young people, promote equity for those with learning disabilities, champion gender equality, and improve equity in the criminal justice system.
