Our World is Ever Changing 

As a faculty, we recognise that the world has changed dramatically over the last few years, and we are committed to adapting the way we work to ensure that we not only meet but exceed the expectations of our past, present and future staff and students. What hasn’t changed is our commitment to providing the best experience and outcomes for all our staff and students during their time at Nottingham and within our faculty. 

Our Ambition 

To promote a fully inclusive environment that delivers the highest quality teaching and learning and Research and Knowledge Exchange (RKE). 

Our Vision 

To achieve our individual and collective ambitions, working in our diverse groups but with one overall team goal: to be a community that leaves a lasting global legacy and creates a sustainable future of which we can all be proud. 

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) 

As part of our commitment, we actively support Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) for everyone within our faculty, both staff and students alike. Each year, the University agrees new EDI priorities, aligned with the University’s People and Culture Strategy, which helps guide areas of focus for the academic year.  

Student Wellbeing and 糖心原创 Life

For our students, examples of what we’re doing to compliment the university’s Wellbeing support offer includes:  

• Collecting student feedback on their experiences through various channels, such as student reps, Student Staff Forums (SSF), surveys, town halls, and network events with the Presidents of our faculty Student Societies. 
• The Engineering Student Experience Fund (ESEF) is open to bids from across the faculty to support events or initiatives that will benefit the student experience and enhance our community within the Faculty of Engineering. Previous bids have brought students, staff and alumni alike together to celebrate the diversity, achievements and skill that we see in the faculty every day. 
• The faculty developed a scholarship model for its under-graduate students which has since been rolled out institutionally. It seeks to level the playing field for those students who face systemic inequalities. 
• The faculty’s dedicated Student Experience Team support students in building their skills, enhancing their university experience, and connecting with new people.  
• We promote opportunities to take part in wellbeing related events, webinars and initiatives. 

By signing up to the UK Governments Disability Confident Scheme, the University, and our faculty, has committed to taking action in five areas (such as recruitment, reasonable adjustments and accessibility) and delivering at least one activity that improves the experiences of disabled people. 
As a member of Stonewall’s Proud Employers programme, the university demonstrates its commitment to creating an LGBTQIA+ inclusive workplace where staff and students can thrive. This membership connects the university to a network of organisations championing equality and provides access to expert guidance, resources, and training to support inclusive practice. It reflects our ongoing dedication to fostering a respectful, diverse, and welcoming environment for all.

The university is also proud to be a member of the Student Minds University Mental Health Charter Programme, a sector-wide initiative supporting institutions to embed a whole-university approach to mental health and wellbeing. Through collaboration, shared learning, and access to evidence-informed resources, the programme empowers universities to drive meaningful cultural change. Membership signals our commitment to prioritising mental health for both students and staff across all areas of university life.

The 糖心原创, in partnership with Nottingham Trent University, is proud to be the first institutions in the UK to jointly receive University of Sanctuary status. This recognition celebrates our commitment to welcoming and supporting refugees and forced migrants through inclusive teaching, research, outreach, and student-led activism. As part of the Universities for Nottingham initiative, this award reflects our shared dedication to creating a city-wide culture of sanctuary, ensuring that those seeking refuge find safety, opportunity, and community within our institutions.
