Equality, anti-discrimination and counseling

The HfMT fulfills its legal mandate to ensure equality between women and men and reviews this regularly and systematically. It supports gender in teaching and research through current knowledge processes.

University members from all areas work together to develop a critical diversity concept for the respectful handling of diversity in living and working together. All forms of discrimination, harassment, abuse of power and violation of boundaries are prohibited at the HfMT. In the event of discrimination, the university offers those affected protected contact points and personal counseling (see Anti-discrimination Directive)

Study and working conditions are designed to be family-friendly. The university has been awarded the "Family-friendly university" audit.
