Professor Dame Anna Dominiczak said “I am immensely proud of this achievement.  These awards require a huge amount of work and dedication from our School and Institute Self-Assessment Panels but the outcomes are very important to the College, and more generally to the sector as we work towards the achievement of an equitable experience for women in academia and our professional services.”

Equality Challenge Unit has today announced 100 ECU Athena SWAN awards achieved by universities, research institutes and departments through their commitment to tackling gender inequality in higher education.

The College of Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences achieved four more awards in this round with a success rate of 100% compared to the national average of 65%.  Our Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health and Comparative Medicine received a Silver award while the Institute of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation,  the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology (joint with School of Psychology) and the School of Medicine, Dentistry & Nursing were all awarded an Athena SWAN Bronze Award.
