About the University of Leicester

The University has founded as Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland University College in 1921. The site for the University was donated by a local businessman, Thomas Fielding Johnson, in order to create a living memorial for all local people who made sacrifices during the First World War. This is reflected in the University’s motto Ut Vitam habeant ‘so that they may have life.

They develop and implement policies and systems that challenge stereotypes across all aspects of work. Such a culture, and the consequent sustainable program of change, will benefit everyone in the University. It will attract a diverse range of high-quality staff and students, and identify the University as a progressive and innovative workplace that mainstreams equality, diversity, and inclusion.
