**6. Diversification of STEM courses; decolonising the curriculum**

UK universities are also diversifying their STEM courses to make them more inclusive and welcoming to students from diverse backgrounds. For example, UCL Mathematics Bridging Course, specifically designed to support students from diverse backgrounds who may not have had the opportunity to study certain topics in depth [30]. The course helps bridge any gaps in mathematical knowledge and builds a strong foundation for success in STEM degrees.

Universities are also creating courses that focus on the social and cultural aspects of STEM, as well as courses that are more interdisciplinary and include elements of other disciplines, such as the arts and humanities. All universities are committed to developing inclusive curriculum that represents a diverse range of perspectives and experiences. This includes incorporating diverse case studies, diverse authors and researchers, and engaging with a broad range of cultural contexts to provide a more inclusive and enriching educational experience for all students. Most institutions are actively working on decolonizing the curriculum across various disciplines, including STEM subjects. This involves critically examining and addressing Eurocentric biases and incorporating a more diverse range of perspectives, theories, and contributions from scholars and researchers from different cultural backgrounds.
