Diversity at H-BRS

For us, embracing diversity means appreciating differences and creating equitable conditions.

Our university values equal opportunity and diversity. The H-BRS offers university members an appreciative and cooperative working, learning and living environment, takes into account the professional use in different life contexts and leads students to the best possible success in their studies. Diversity management strengthens togetherness, serves to secure the future of our university, has an impact on the region and makes an important contribution to anti-discrimination work.
