Equality and Diversity

Diversity Logo

 

The University of Westminster is a metropolitan university with a wide range of students of different ethnic origins and backgrounds coming from the UK and 135 other countries. This diversity provides for a dynamic learning environment.

 

Career Development Centre recognise such diversity as an asset in our society and proudly promote this to employers who seek to recruit University of Westminster graduates.

 

We also recognises however, that some students and graduates face potential barriers in their attempt to develop their careers. These barriers take many forms including low confidence and lack of opportunities, but often centre around discrimination from employers on the basis of several factors, such as age, race, disability, criminal record, sexual orientation, gender identity and overseas status. We are seeking to help you tackle this inequality.

 

These pages have been designed to provide you with confidence-building, self-marketing and job-seeking strategies as well as information on other sources of support to help you develop your career more effectively. You may find it useful to use these pages in conjunction with the rest of our website for more general information on job-seeking, effective applications, vacancy sources and postgraduate study as well as other areas.

 

"A socially inclusive world of work helps to combat stereotypes in society as a whole, forcing a situation where prejudices can be defused and rendered obsolete helping to prevent and redress social fragmentation, racial and ethnic conflict and gender inequalities"

- International Labour Organisation
