LGBTQI students

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Questioning and Intersex

The University has a number of resources available for anyone seeking assistance or support in expressing and exploring your identity, no matter where you fall on the LGBTQIAQA spectrum. This might be the first time thinking about your sexual orientation or gender identity; in which case, there is reassurance to be had in knowing that the university seeks to create a safe environment for you to question and explore, by supporting a policy of diversity and equality for all staff and students.
