New Preferred Partnership Announced With University Of Essex
11 December 2020
The Aziz Foundation would like to announce new scholarships at the University of Essex for exceptional British Muslims looking to progress onto Masters level study.
The University of Essex has become one of the Foundation’s Preferred Partners, having demonstrated their shared values in extending Widening Participation to the postgraduate level and closing the BME awarding gap.
The University is part of Advance HE’s collaborative project “Towards Embedding Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the Curriculum”, with a particular focus on race and ethnicity. Alongside this, the Curriculum University of Essex (CUE) project has been established to support BAME student success at the institution. In respect to communities of faith, the University’s Code of Practice concerning Religion and Belief commits it to providing mandatory faith provision on campus.
The Foundation is looking forward to working closely with the University of Essex, extending opportunities to British Muslim communities to access Masters level study.
