Course details

Equality and diversity is an on-line course that can be taken in your own time and at your own pace. It is designed to help you reflect on equality and diversity issues as they affect you in your role at the University. The course, which should take you about an hour to complete, explains the University's expectations of its staff in this important area and is strongly recommended.

You may be happy to take the course by yourself. But you are free to work through it in discussion with a colleague or in a small group if that is how you prefer to work.
