Characteristics of assistance to differently abled persons
Special curricula and hardship exemptions for students with health problems are drawn up and implemented without any bureaucracy as part of the applicable study regulations in close collaboration with the university's central representative for the severely disabled.
Characteristics of diversity advancement
At university level, the issue of diversity management is institutionalised via the coordination office for equal opportunities; at faculty level, decentralised equal opportunities representatives are available as advisers; concrete measures to promote diversity at faculty level for students: link programmes and open MINT room to eliminate subject-related and methodological deficits; concrete measures to promote junior academics: fund to support parents during their qualification phase; concrete measures to support staff members: Many options for continuing education.
