Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI)

The University of St Andrews is committed to building greater diversity in our student and staff communities.

Our community approach to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) means that every member of the University has a responsibility to contribute to the realisation of a culture of inclusion that will enable all to thrive.

Learn more about how EDI is governed at the University, or contact the EDI team to find out more.

“The University is committed to being a beacon of inclusivity. None of the progress being made towards realising this goal would be possible without the ideas and contributions of members of the University community. I encourage you to actively engage with our EDI work – everyone has a part to play in ensuring a diverse and inclusive St Andrews.”
