King’s prides itself on being a university with an ethos of inclusive excellence. We want our people to thrive and seek to shape an inclusive, empowering culture in which all our staff and students can be themselves, and be treated fairly and with dignity, with their success determined by the application of their talents.

As part of our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) strategy, King’s is committed to developing and implementing EDI related policies, practices and interventions to advance our ethos of being an inclusive university. These policies, practices and interventions are developed ensuring we take account of our responsibilities in relation to the Equality Act 2010 and our duties to secure lawful free speech and academic freedom.

We have the Athena SWAN charter  Silver Award, recognising our commitment to promote and advance careers of women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) in academia. The charter and associated award has now expanded to address gender equality more widely in higher education.
