Our Network Stucture
The BAME+ Network consists of the Network Board, the main decision-making body of the Network. Working Groups feed into the Network Board to support the Network's ambitions.
These Working Groups focus on the following themes:
We’re a dedicated team committed to empowering ethnic minorities through continuing personal and professional development. We aim to create opportunities that help individuals thrive and support their growth to reach their full potential. Whether it’s through mentorship, skill-building workshops, or connecting people with the right resources, we’re here to make a real difference by breaking down barriers, celebrating diversity and creating spaces where everyone feels they truly belong.
Join us in this journey toward meaningful change, let’s make a difference together!

The students wing of the Ulster University (UU) BAME+ Network, in collaboration with all the other working groups, aims to enrich the experience of both international and local students by introducing them to opportunities that would enhance and develop their competencies.
Students are at the heart of any academic institution like ours. As such, students across all campuses of UU are encouraged to get involved in activities that would enable them to thrive through effective talent development programmes, mental health and wellbeing programmes as well as initiatives that promote diversity, equity and inclusion. This, in turn, would enable students to contribute meaningfully to society for an exciting and sustainable future.
