Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion
We believe that equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is integral to a successful place of work and study.
As a result of this, students and staff come from across the globe to study and work at Norwich, bringing with them an incredible diversity of viewpoints, beliefs, attitudes and approaches which enrich both the University and the city.
