Race equality at MDX

We're committed to making real, lasting change

Racial diversity, equality and inclusion are vital principles at Middlesex University. We firmly believe that the talents, skills, insights and experiences of our diverse community make us who we are.

Race Equality Charter

We are a member of Advance HE's Race Equality Charter (REC) and have been awarded a REC Bronze Award, which demonstrate our commitment to improving the representation, progression and success of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic staff and students within higher education.

Our Bronze Award indicates that Middlesex University is on the right path to developing a more inclusive culture and progressing towards creating even greater opportunities for everyone in our community of staff and students, regardless of our background or experience.

Reverse Mentoring Framework

In Middlesex University, in the region of 29% of staff come from minority ethnic backgrounds, around 16% of professors and senior staff are from minority ethnic backgrounds.

Although there are members of the Board of Governors from minority ethnic backgrounds, the University Executive is not ethnically diverse. We aspire to increasing diversity and inclusion at all levels in the University and a priority is to ensure that the University Executive are listening, learning and acting. Reverse mentoring is part of this process. Read about our reverse mentoring framework.

Race at Work Charter

We have signed up to the Race at Work Charter, an initiative designed to improve outcomes for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic employees (BAME) in the UK. Signing up means taking practical steps to ensure our workplace is tackling barriers that ethnic minority people face in recruitment and progression and that our organisation is representative of British society today.
