The effectiveness of this course stems from the tough questions it asks. Students will need to carefully consider their self-awareness of bias, the power of prejudice and how they can commit to equality, diversity and inclusion.

The factors influencing our biases grow, as we grow older. While we do not have to feel guilty about our unconscious biases, it is important we address them, especially when they can negatively affect our views about university staff and services, possibly for arbitrary reasons.

The course has several modules that sit under three main headings.

• What is Bias? – this section covers the understanding of what unconscious bias is, and where it comes from
• Impact of Bias – this section focuses on the types of bias that are most common and how damaging these biases could be
• Overcoming Bias – this section delivers crucial information that will enable students to acknowledge and overcome the biases that have been instilled in them

By the end of the course learners will be able to:

• build an awareness of bias and unconscious bias
• demonstrate how their biases could impact on their feelings and feedback
• identify how to minimise the impact of their biases.

A short assessment at the end of the course will reinforce the knowledge that the students have developed throughout the course.

Course Duration: this course takes around 30 minutes to complete. Learners can bookmark their progress throughout to complete the course at their own pace.
