The Careers Service is fully committed to operating within the terms of the University's Equal Opportunities Policy. The aim of this policy is to "ensure that all students are treated equally, irrespective of race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital or parental status, age, disability, political or religious belief, or socio-economic status".

The service recognises that the factors listed above may sometimes have a negative effect on students' ability to achieve their aims and ambitions. These pages are designed to help students to challenge discrimination and overcome barriers to achievement.
