The UDF supports initiatives across the University that aim to challenge discrimination and inequalities, increase the representation of under-represented groups, raise awareness of issues related to equality, diversity and inclusion, and facilitate implementation of good practice at the University.
Students are invited to apply for a grant. For more information about the application process and criteria, please visit the UDF fund webpage. Applications close on Monday 22 January.

- Raise awareness about issues related to equality and inclusion, and challenge inequalities such as racism, gender inequality, disablism or homophobia.
- Increase the representation of women, racially minoritised staff & students and other underrepresented groups.
- Address barriers faced by particular groups.
- Facilitate the implementation of good practice in equality and inclusion.
Please note that there will be additional funding (£1500 each) for three projects focusing specifically on anti-racism.
