Supporting excellence through diversity…..Photograph of the Vice-Chancellor

One of the most wonderful things about working and learning at the University of Bristol is the diversity of its people. We respect and thrive on difference, and we value the huge range of experience and perspectives that our staff and students bring to the institution.

The appreciation of diversity and the equitable treatment of all are among our core values and underpin the success of the University as a community of scholarship.

The equality risk assessment process will help to ensure that our culture remains one in which difference is viewed as an asset. It will increase our ability to attract, support and retain truly outstanding staff and students from a stimulating variety of backgrounds. I commend the process to you and hope you will engage with it enthusiastically.

Professor Eric Thomas, Vice-Chancellor
