Community involvement & Ethical Careers

If you are keen to get involved in local voluntary community projects, check out the information below:

Canal Clean Ups:

Approximately 26 million tonnes of plastic pollution ends up in the oceans every year. Keeping our canals and beaches clean is an important way to keep harmful materials away from marine life. Our Environmental Champions will be running BCU Canal Litter Picks with the Canal and River Trust. To find out more contact environment@bcu.ac.uk

Ethical Careers

One of the University’s primary objectives is to equip our graduates with the skills needed to secure their dream jobs. Equally important to us is ensuring that the employers we connect our students and graduates with align with the university’s core values. The Vacancy Advertising Policy details the checks and assessments performed before establishing partnerships with employers.
