Diversity permeates all aspects of studying and teaching, so it is also an important topic that affects all subject areas, departments, central institutions and administration. However, there may be subject-specific needs in this area. We would also like to take these characteristic needs into account and offer individual services for different areas. Take a look around and get in touch with us.

Heribert Warzecha,
Vice President, Academic Affairs and Diversity

It is one of the principles of our university that the individuality as well as the potential of diverse experiences of our members are appreciated and respected. In order to further expand equal opportunities and to be able to guarantee protection against discrimination, the university must take a critical look at itself in order to make the best possible study and working conditions possible for all TU members.
