Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

The world in one place

We are committed to addressing under-representation where it exists, celebrating the diversity of our students and staff, nurturing communities of belonging in which all are accepted without exception, promoting inclusion, well-being, resilience and empowerment to enable everyone to reach their full potential as well as supporting and encouraging Academic Freedom of Speech within the law.

Tackling racism
We’re determined to take rapid action against racism on our campuses and to ensure we’re supporting our staff and students.
Our pledge to Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities
As one of the most culturally diverse universities in the UK, with staff and students from over 140 countries, Essex is proud to welcome people from a wide range of backgrounds, who collectively enrich the life of our University.
Disability and access
As a university, we have a duty to remove barriers for our students, staff and visitors and make reasonable adjustments to ensure those with a disability do not suffer disadvantage compared to non-disabled people.
University of Sanctuary
Essex has a proud and radical tradition of providing sanctuary for academics and young people, and is committed to making the University a welcoming and safe place for refugees and asylum seekers.

This blog series highlights the work we are doing to embed equality and inclusion into everything we do, and shares the diverse experiences of our students and staff.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion events across campus
