We are committed to encouraging students to enter higher education from all backgrounds and cultures including students from Gypsy, Traveller, Roma, Showmen and Boater families.
We strive to create a welcoming, inclusive and supportive environment where all students can thrive both personally and in their education. To do this we will:
- Provide advice and support before and during your studies by contacting [email protected]
- Empower you to share your background with us, which can help the university
to support you into and whilst at university - Offer a priority appointment with the Employability Service within 6 weeks of
your course start date. You can also access this service before you start your
course, by contacting [email protected] - Provide guaranteed appointments with the Wellbeing Service within the first

study skills, libraries and disability and inclusion - Give advice from our accommodation team including the option of
accommodation for 52 weeks of the year - Celebrate cultural events for your communities and encourage you to help us
do so - Share success stories of our students and staff
- Listen and learn from your experiences and challenges so we can initiate
