Equality, diversity, and inclusion in the School of Modern Languages

The School of Modern Languages is one of the largest and most diverse of its kind in the UK. We are committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming environment that supports equality, diversity, inclusion, and fairness for all. We believe that everyone has the right to work and study in a supportive environment, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, or other personal circumstances.

The School operates under the University’s EDI strategy and aims to enable all members of staff and students to contribute and reach their full potential. The School also strives to uphold its mutually agreed values: equality, transparency, collegiality, trust, respect, and accountability. This work is carried out by the School's EDI Committee. If you need to talk with someone about issues relating to this, please get in touch with either the School’s Director of EDI or the Head of School. Contact details can be found on

The Report and Support tool is available to everyone to report any concerns you have related to incidents including bullying, discrimination, abuse, assault or harassment of any sort. You can report anonymously or using your contact details.
