Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

UBEL are committed to addressing inequalities and widening participation in our doctoral training partnership.

UBEL's commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

UBEL is committed to promoting diversity and equality through the development of fair and equitable policies, procedures, and academic programmes of study. Our ambition is to become a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive provider of doctoral education, committed to valuing the lived experiences of PGRs and our staff.

Our plan will ensure that EDI is central to everything we do as a partnership. For UBEL this means listening to and understanding different views to create an inclusive working and learning environment where everyone is treated with respect and valued for the skills and knowledge they bring to our partnership.
