Now in its second year, this micro-credential offers participants fan opportunity to engage with contemporary issues relating to equality, diversity and inclusion in higher education and to consider how these issues intersect with their own professional roles and responsibilities.

The course explores both the policy and practice of EDI in higher education, while encouraging participants to critically examine their own contexts and contribute to the ongoing development of an inclusive university culture.
