Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

We’re proud of our diversity

Middlesex is an open and welcoming community. We value difference because it allows us to explore new perspectives and experiences, learning more than we ever could alone. We believe this richness of diversity enhances the experience of every MDX student.

What you can expect from us
We will provide you with a variety of new perspectives and experiences to explore.
We will encourage you to share your story, giving you the skills and confidence to do so.
We will acknowledge where barriers exist and act to ensure that equality, diversity, inclusion and justice are reflected within our ways of working.
We will listen, seeking to both understand and respect the views of others.
What we expect from you
We expect you to be open to learning from and with others. Treating each other with respect and supporting each other’s success is at the core of how we work together.
We hope that you will challenge yourself to seek out new ideas, cultures and experiences.
We hope that you will ultimately become champions for diversity; both within our #TeamMDX community and in the wider world.

How we're championing equality

Athena SWAN Charter

We believe in the importance of equality across all protected characteristics.

That's why we have signed up to the Athena SWAN Charter to strengthen our gender equality.

In 2020/21, we will commence work on the Race Equality Charter as part of our continued commitment to advance representation, progression and success for all.
