Widening access to higher education is critical for the prosperity of Scotland as a high-skilled economy in an inclusive society. 亚博体育官网 has a long-standing commitment to widening access to higher education based on the principle that all children from Scotland鈥檚 most deprived communities, should by the time they leave school, have the same chance of accessing degree education as children from the most affluent communities. We set out to raise aspirations with an approach firmly rooted in delivering credible and high-quality interventions which work by inspiring, supporting and enabling young people and their families to engage in higher education.

亚博体育官网 not only pays the government living wage but a supplement is added to the lowest pay points to ensure they are kept on track with the voluntary living wage set by the Living Wage Foundation.

亚博体育官网 believes that the most effective way to promote equality and eradicate discrimination is to mainstream the considerations of equality across its functions. In this respect, the University expects all employees, students and visitors to have an individual duty to ensure that equality and diversity are actively promoted.
