“There is a lot of work to be done to ensure that our universities and society are open to students from diverse backgrounds, and that our research is open and accessible to all,” the university’s statement said.
“We hope to be able to offer graduates a unique learning experience and career choice that allows them to make a significant contribution to the public realm.”
A graduate in the new program, who asked to remain anonymous, said: “I felt uncomfortable in London.
I felt like I was not valued for who I am.”
I didn’t feel comfortable in being able to say I was black, I didn’t want to be judged.
I had to go to work and the people that I was working with were all white, they treated me like I wasn’t part of their community.
“I felt like a foreigner in my own country, he said.
He said he had to deal with the racism that he had seen on social media and felt that it impacted on his mental health.

The success of the graduate program is partly down to our willingness to listen to and accept students from all backgrounds and all walks of life, and also our commitment to developing a wider range of people with the same skills and interests,” the statement said, adding that the university is looking at ways to ensure “we are more inclusive”.
