Oxford Brookes University has engaged with the Athena Swan Charter since 2009 achieving a first Bronze award in 2013.
In 2016, the University became one of the first five UK universities to achieve an institutional award under the new Athena Swan Charter.
Our current Bronze award recognises the University’s work to advance gender equality, representation and progression across all disciplines and roles.
“At Oxford Brookes women hold 65.8% of senior academic positions, and 48.8% of our professors are female, compared to a sector average of 29.7%. (2023 figures)”
“Oxford Brookes takes its role in ensuring gender equality very seriously and seeks to foster an environment in which everyone can thrive.”
Professor Linda King, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research and Global Partnerships
