Student of Colour Ambassador - School of Global Development (DEV)

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 2019-20, there was a 9.9% '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.
