The School of Biological Sciences is a demographically and culturally diverse place to work and study.
Coupled to our dedication to research and teaching excellence, we are committed to celebrating diversity and supporting equality throughout the School.
This commitment positively reflects our values and culture and underpins our determination to build a strong, resilient and supportive community that nurtures all of the incredible talents within our School.
Professor Phil Dash
Head of School
In 2020, we were awarded an Athena SWAN Silver Award. This award recognised the steps taken to advance gender equality at all levels of our School, and the detailed action plan that we have put in place to help us tackle gender-based discrimination, improve representation and, where appropriate, celebrate our successes in advancing gender equality.
Advance HE's Athena SWAN Charter was established in 2005 to encourage and recognise commitment to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) employment in higher education and research. The School of Biological Sciences is fully committed to the aims of this Charter.
