Women

Significant advances have been made by women in the workplace over the last 30 years but there is evidence that they may still suffer from discrimination.

Women account for over half of the student population and gain higher class first degrees than men yet female graduates can still expect to earn, on average, 15% less than their male counterparts.

These pages have been designed to help you overcome barriers to your career development by providing advice to help you improve your career planning, develop your confidence and identify opportunities for employment and further support.
