Equality
We regard diversity as a strength. Our staff and students bring a broad range of different backgrounds, experiences, potential and skills – and this is an essential driver for the continued development of Steinbeis University of Applied Sciences. Accordingly, constructive cooperation among everyone involved in studying, teaching, research and administration is very important to us.
All measures and objectives for equality are set out in the equality concept of Steinbeis University of Applied Sciences. Its implementation is in the hands of our equal opportunities officer. Their rights and obligations are essentially derived from the Higher Education Act of the State of Saxony-Anhalt.
Gender note: We value equality and diversity. Therefore, we use gender-neutral forms on our website wherever possible, which include all genders.
The equal opportunities officers participate in all committees and commissions
The responsibilities of the equal opportunities officer are diverse and include topics such as career planning, diversity, and balancing family, studies, and work. The equal opportunities officers are involved in all committees and commissions, such as the Senate, the departmental council, and appointments. Our Diversity Management team, which includes the equal opportunities officers and the disability officer, also offers expert advice and support in cases of conflict and sexual harassment—both for individuals and groups.
For all questions regarding equal opportunities in the university sector – both on a personal and institutional level – our diversity management team is available by appointment and can be reached at diversity@steinbeis-hochschule.de.
