Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

The College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies (CASSCS) at University of Galway is committed to the promotion of equality of opportunity and to creating and sustaining an environment that values and celebrates the diversity of our staff and student body. The principle of equality of opportunity is enshrined in the core values of the institution as articulated in the University’s strategic plan 2020, in legislation, and in the Public Sector Duty (Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act 2014).  

In the CASSCS we recognize that diversity encompasses a wide range of characteristics, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, and socio-economic background. By promoting an inclusive environment, we aim to break down barriers, encourage open dialogue, and celebrate the unique perspectives that each individual brings to our College.
