Gay, Lesbian & Bisexual Students

Diversity Logo

 

Gay, Lesbian, and  Bisexual   (GLB) students and graduates might be described as an 'invisible minority'. Sexuality does not come with a label and the decision whether or not to raise and tackle issues relating to sexual orientation remains a matter of individual choice.

 

Generally speaking, within the, sometimes, more enlightened confines of university life such issues are unlikely to create much fuss anyway.

 

Once you have graduated, however, and you begin your career search in earnest, you may be confronted with a number of issues pertaining to your sexuality within the workplace.  These pages have been designed to help you improve your career planning, market yourself more effectively, tackle issues around disclosing your sexual orientation, identify supportive employers and handle possible discrimination.
