Student Membership Opportunities – Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee

Have your say. Help shape a more inclusive UCA. 

UCA is looking for students who are interested in joining its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee. 

The Committee brings together staff and students to discuss equality, diversity and inclusion across the University, identify areas for improvement and help shape initiatives that create a more inclusive experience for everyone. 

We want to ensure that student voices, experiences and perspectives are genuinely represented in these conversations. 

We are particularly keen to hear from students across all three campuses – Farnham, Epsom and Canterbury – and welcome applications from students with a range of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. 

As a student member, you will have the opportunity to: 

• Share your experiences and perspectives on equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging  at UCA. 

• Help raise issues that matter to students. 

• Contribute ideas and suggestions for positive change. 

• Take part in discussions around student experience, accessibility, representation and inclusion. 

• Help ensure that student voices are heard when University priorities and initiatives are considered. 

You do not need any previous committee experience or specialist knowledge of EDI. We are simply looking for students who are passionate about making UCA a more inclusive place to study and are willing to contribute to open and constructive discussions. 

Interested in getting involved? 

If you would like to become a student member of the EDI Committee, please submit an expression of interest to jodie.ayres@uca.ac.uk by 5 December 2026. 

Your voice matters, and we would love to hear from you!
