We recognise staff as our greatest asset, so we aim to create a working environment which engages staff, enabling them to give their best, take pride in their work and make a real difference
The University of Cumbria is committed to supporting and developing the careers of its researchers. The HR Research Excellence Award process provides a framework to support this and incorporates both the QAA Code of Practice for Research Degree Programmes and the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers.
The action plan is a fundamental element of maintaining the HR Excellence Award.
We take pride in being a community of equals. The University of Cumbria is a Disability Confident Employer. This recognises those employers who have agreed to meet certain commitments regarding the recruitment, employment, retention and career development of disabled people.
The university is intending to submit an application for the Athena Swan Institutional Bronze Award.
