Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

We're proud to be an inclusive, tolerant and diverse community. The University of Sheffield is committed to equality of opportunity and to fostering good relations, for students and prospective students. It is the University's policy to treat all students with dignity and respect (please see the University’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy here - https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/study/policies/equality-and-diversity-policy).

As you may know, it's against the law to discriminate against someone for any of the following:

• age

• disability

• gender reassignment

• marriage and civil partnership

• pregnancy and maternity

• race

• religion or belief

• sex

• sexual orientation

It's the University's policy to treat all students with dignity and respect, irrespective

of protected characteristics, so this list is not exhaustive. For example, other characteristics may include nationality, socio-economic class, carers, care leavers, and estranged students.

The University expects that all students will behave in a way which reflects and appreciates the diversity of the University community.
