Diversity at study training
**PLEASE NOTE THE MODULE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FRIDAY 9 JANUARY AND THERE MAY BE SOME SERVICE DISRUPTION 12-15 JANUARY**
It is important the University takes steps to ensure its students receive the appropriate training that will equip them with the necessary skills and abilities required. It is equally important that students are aware of their personal responsibilities as a member of the University community.
It is not intended that this online module replaces any face-to-face sessions being planned, it is part of a package that will give students a basic understanding of equality and diversity that can be discussed in more depth in further sessions.
The Module
This online module intends to support you to become familiar with equalities legislation; gain an understanding of the broader issues of equality and diversity; to know your responsibilities and rights as a student of the University.
It is the first in a series of diversity related training sessions designed to provide students with the support required to help them work more effectively in a diverse environment.
The training will take approximately one hour and can be stopped and restarted back at the same point at any stage.

What will happen to my test results?
Please be assured this is not a test, it is intended to be a safe environment where you can test your existing knowledge and potentially learn something new. Although there are some helpful quizzes along the way to test what you know this is not intended to assess any individual's knowledge of equality and diversity.
The system requires your personal details to log in for two reasons: the University pays for usage per user and therefore we must ensure employees and students only log in once and secondly we need to monitor the percentage of take up in each area.
