Working in the School

We are committed to providing a welcoming and supportive environment and to enabling effective professional development for all of our staff.

Under the auspices of the Athena Swan project, we are seeking to ensure equality of access to opportunities for all, and in particular to support the careers of women in science.

Career support and development

The School offers access to a wide range of training and development support, tailored to your career stage and aspirations.

Equality and diversity

We are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity for all staff and students. Equality means ensuring individuals or groups of individuals are treated fairly and equally and no less favourably, specific to their needs. Diversity aims to recognise, respect and value people's differences to contribute and realise their full potential by promoting an inclusive culture for all staff and students.

The School holds an Athena SWAN Silver award, in recognition of its success in providing positive support for women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine during their careers.
