Student advocates

We have a team of paid BAME Success Advocates who work with students and staff to understand the challenges faced by BAME students.

They have three areas of focus: reviewing, belonging and events.

BAME Student Experience

In February 2017, the University commissioned a report to understand the BAME Students' University Experience. The report highlighted that BAME students can experience a lack of community, belonging and isolation from an un-diverse curriculum to lack of visible role models in staff representation at the University. 

Following the publication of this report, a task and finish group developed a whole university action plan to address the BAME students’ experience and attainment gap. The plan was reviewed again this year 2018/19 academic year.
