Diversity - useful documents test
The content on this page was translated automatically.
The HfMT Hamburg is a highly international university of the arts. Students, teachers and staff come from over 60 countries and speak many different languages. They experience their everyday life in Hamburg and at the university differently, because diversity extends beyond cultural, socio-economic and religious backgrounds and also encompasses individual identities and lifestyles. They classify themselves as women or men according to the traditional gender image or act beyond binary categories. They live in heterosexual or same-sex relationships or have different skin colors and body characteristics. Some have to live with invisible chronic illnesses or physical or psychological limitations. Our aim is to enable all students, teachers and staff at the HfMT to participate in university life without discrimination.
