At the University of Worcester inclusion is central to our values and mission:
- We value intellectual openness, democracy and love of learning
- We promote educational and social inclusion and equality
- We work with focus, commitment and ambition
- We behave with kindness and respect
- We expect ethical and professional behaviour
- We practice environmental sustainability and social responsibility
We have pioneered and developed a ‘whole university approach’ to equality, diversity and inclusion, which examines every activity of the University and the way in which each activity and facility promotes inclusion and participation, whilst simultaneously contributing to educational excellence, student and graduate success. We were delighted to win the Higher Education Award for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in 2020 for all the work that has taken place.
We have a wide range of student-led networks who exist to connect students and some underrepresented areas of the student population, build communities, enhance diversity on campus, highlight current issues and empower like-minded students to act collectively to bring about change and make a difference. These are networks where you can find like-minded fellow students and/or those who have the same or similar experiences and backgrounds to you:
- BAME Students’ Network
- Commuter Students’ Network
- Disabled Students’ Network
- International Students’ Network
- LGBTQ+ Students’ Network
- Mature, Parents and Carers Network
- Postgraduate Students’ Network
- Sustainability Network
- Widening Participation Network
- Women’s Students’ Network
So, whoever you are, whatever your background and experiences you can be assured that, inside and outside of the classroom, you will have the opportunity to thrive at Worcester Business School. Listen below to some of our 2021 Business students who share their inspiring personal journeys with us:
