Equality and diversity: Kingston University's inclusive culture

Equality, diversity and inclusion is at the very heart of Kingston University. It's in our diverse student population and staff, it's in our multi-cultural student societies and events, and it's in our activities to encourage prospective students and create the best study experience for all.

Diverse and global community

There's no such thing as an average Kingston University student – they come from all over the UK and around the world. Last time we checked, our non-UK students came from 154 countries, from Australia-Zimbabwe.

Our student societies alone cover a fantastic variety of nationalities, communities, faiths, interests and more. They all come together annually for our Global Festival – celebrating diversity, culture and internationalism.

Championing equality and diversity

One Kingston is our strategy for equality, diversity and inclusion. It is designed to ensure that students, like those from black, Asian, minority groups or those with disabilities benefit fully from the university process – from student recruitment to the student experience, to graduate employment.

Kingston University is also proud to hold the Athena SWAN bronze award for our commitment to advancing women's careers in science, technology, maths and medicine (STEMM).
