Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

The University of Southampton is fully committed to the principles of promoting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and give equal opportunity irrespective of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability and political belief. The PhD programme will implement these policies in the selection process of students and supervisors.

Our students and supervisors can be involved in Equality & Diversity in many ways, including regular events, volunteering, basic training and raising awareness. These activities are all important for an inclusive and safe culture for study and work.

See below for examples in promoting equality across the Faculty of Medicine and more widely in our Doctoral College:

Mentoring and training

Culture and unconscious bias

External resources for Women

Flexible work hours for PhD students: a CASE study

Language and culture across the academic world; for more info read the Blog
