Diversity Management at H-BRS

For us, living diversity means valuing difference and creating equitable conditions.

Our university emphasises equal opportunities and diversity. H-BRS offers its members an appreciative, cooperative working, learning and living environment, gives due consideration to professional capacity in various life contexts, and guides students to the best possible success in their studies.
