Student of Colour Ambassador

At uea(su) we’re working with the university to tackle the degree awarding gap and other issues that affect students of colour.

In the UK in 2020-21, there was a 8.8% 'gap’ between the likelihood of white students and students of colour getting a 1st or a 2:1 degree classification.

Some factors that contribute to the degree awarding gap include:

  • Institutional culture

  • A lack of ethnic diversity among role models and staff

  • A lack of inclusive content, design and delivery

  • Not feeling a sense of belonging

We believe this is wrong and we're making it a priority to work with UEA to address it. The scheme recruit students of colour as we understand that addressing the lived experiences of students of colour is a crucial factor in closing the degree awarding gap.
