The University has clear expectations of life on our campuses for our students, our staff and everyone who forms part of our community. We expect everyone who visits our campuses to undertake any form of activity to take responsibility for their behaviour to prevent harassment and sexual misconduct.
Combating inappropriate behaviour requires responsible behaviour at an individual level. As a visitor to our campus you are part of our community. Whether you are speaking at an event, attending a conference, working as a contractor or buying a coffee you can expect to be treated with respect, and we expect the same of you.
National Surveys show that students are among the most likely groups to experience sexual assault. Our #NeverOK campaign, in collaboration with our Students鈥� Union, has been running for several years and makes clear the negative behaviours that are not tolerated in our community.
Our Harassment & Bullying Policy Statement and our Campus Principles and Campus Exclusion Procedure clearly set out the standards of behaviour expected on our campuses.
We are in the process of finalising our postgraduate taught courses for 2026/27 entry. In the meantime, you can view our 2025/26 courses.
