Ensuring the safety, satisfaction and success of all students and staff, irrespective of how they choose to define their gender identity.
The University of Portsmouth celebrates and values the diversity of its workforce and student body. We welcome people of all sexual and gender identities. We wish to create a positive working and learning environment in which all staff and students feel equally welcome and valued, and in which gender shaming and phobic behaviour – including transphobic behaviour – is not tolerated.
