  Equal Opportunities Policy


The University of Ulster is committed to the principles of Equality of Opportunity and recognises their importance in fair employment practices. The University and its Trade Unions recognise that the promotion of equal access to employment opportunities is of benefit both to the University, by ensuring contact with the widest employment market, and to the University’s employees and job applicants by allowing fair competition for employment opportunities on the basis of merit.

It is essential that employment practices are operated on the basis of the relevant merits, abilities and potential of individuals, and are free from any criteria which cannot be justified by the demands of the post.

This policy sets out the framework for the provision of equal opportunities in employment and for the elimination of unlawful and unjust discrimination in practice. It is supported by various Codes of Practice which deal with aspects of policy implementation.
