## Your employment rights

It is against the law for an employer to discriminate against you when applying for a job, or in the workplace, because of race, religion, gender, disability, marital status, social class, age or sexual preference. An employer must also make reasonable adjustments so you are not at a disadvantage in the workplace. [Find out more about your employment rights](https://www.gov.uk/discrimination-your-rights/discrimination-at-work), including [disability rights](https://www.gov.uk/rights-disabled-person/employment), and [see how we can support you at Sussex](https://student.sussex.ac.uk/careers/disability-and-equality-careers-support).
