The University of London was founded on the principles of equality in 1836, and is well-placed to increase access to postgraduate study for students active in British Muslim communities. Strongly committed to furthering equality, diversity and inclusion in higher education, these values remain enshrined in the Institute’s statutes.
The University’s Equality and Inclusion Strategy 2021–25 centres around developing institution-wide good practices. This incorporates mandatory sessions for staff, such as Let’s Talk about Race training, designed to increase understanding of how race informs institutional equity, enabling all staff to feel more confident in having discussions on these sensitive topics.
The University of London’s Race Equality Group also provides a forum for BAME staff to meet and share their personal experiences and initiate conversations on race equality issues.
Up to five scholarships will be awarded per academic year, covering tuition fees for students embarking on one of the eligible programmes listed below.
