The Race and Religion Team
In line with the EDI commitments set out in the University’s Strategy, People, Place and Partnership – Delivering Sustainable Futures for All, people and relationships are central to the ongoing success of the university.
The Race and Religion team work to identify data driven evidence on the lived experiences of our people from all racial and religious backgrounds. Our aim is to identify continuous opportunities to improve our culture, celebrate our people and to provide the best environment possible to work and study.
Advancing Race Equality and Fostering Good Relations
Ulster University is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone can succeed.
Two key areas of this work are our engagement with Advance HE's Race Equality Charter and our pathway to becoming a University of Sanctuary.
The Race Equality Charter provides a framework for universities across the UK and Ireland to identify and address the barriers faced by racially minoritised staff and students. It supports universities to take meaningful, long‑term action to drive change.
Alongside our work on the Race Charter, our University of Sanctuary work reflects our commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for people seeking sanctuary, strengthening our role as a civic university within our local and global communities.
Meet the Race and Religion team, and explore more about the Race Equality Charter and our work on becoming a University of Sanctuary below.
