Diversity and Inclusivity
At The University of Buckingham, we pride ourselves on offering an inclusive environment for all of our students to grow as individuals, and to also learn from those around them.
Inclusion is defined as: “The action, practice, or policy of including any person in an activity, system, organisation or process, irrespective of race, gender, religion, age, ability, etc.”
For us as a university, inclusion is about reaching out and actively supporting all types of learners and meeting their specific, individual needs.
Unfair discrimination
Discrimination is when somebody is treated differently due to their ‘protected characteristics.’
Protected characteristics include, but are not limited to:
- Age
- Gender
- Disability
- Race
- Religion
- Sexual orientation
As a university, we are working hard to eliminate discrimination and do not stand for any mistreatment of our students or our staff.
Other characteristics
At the University of Buckingham, we are incredibly passionate about supporting each and every one of our students, and want everyone to achieve their full potential.
We will not stand for any form of discrimination, including unfair disadvantage due to a students social background or caring responsibilities, etc.
What do I do if I feel that I’m facing an unfair disadvantage?
If you ever feel you are being discriminated against or are facing an unfair disadvantage at the university, please raise this as soon as possible.
This can be raised with your personal tutor, teaching staff, the wellbeing team, etc.
