Dr Peter Holland – vet surgeon to Associate Dean of our new Vet School
Hear from our colleagues
I feel very fortunate to be a part of a team who values our diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences, and also prioritises staff and student wellbeing.

No matter what your race, gender, age, religion, disability or colour is, you are always welcomed, supported, and empowered here at UCLan.

As a leader, I’m supported to celebrate diversity in my team. This enables me to act as an ally to all communities, especially colleagues from ethnically diverse backgrounds.

Without a doubt, my experience at UCLan as a student and later as staff has made me more employable and given me back my confidence and self-belief.

The University has a masjid that enables Muslim staff and students to pray in, which is really important to me. UCLan is a great environment to work in, everyone here is so friendly.

UCLan has given me good work and life balance. Flexible working makes it easy for me to work around childcare arrangements. Colleagues are amazing here and we support and look after each other, it’s like a little family.
