Equal op­por­tu­nities at the FH­DW

The promotion of gender equality at the University of Applied Sciences (FHDW) is at the heart of our educational mission. We firmly believe that equal opportunities and diversity are crucial for a dynamic and innovative learning environment. Our commitment to equality extends to various levels to ensure that all members of the university community have equal opportunities to develop their potential.

In teaching, we attach great importance to ensuring that all students have access to high-quality educational opportunities, regardless of their gender, origin or background. Our curricula are designed to challenge stereotypical gender roles and emphasize diversity of perspectives. Through an inclusive teaching methodology and the promotion of discussion and critical thinking, we create an open learning environment in which each individual can freely express their opinions and ideas.

In the area of research, we are committed to ensuring that gender perspectives are given appropriate consideration in various disciplines. Our researchers explore topics related to gender equality, diversity and inclusion to promote understanding and awareness of these important issues. In this way, we contribute to the development of scientific findings and innovative solutions that can bring about positive social change.

In addition to the academic field, we are also actively committed to equality in everyday university life. We promote the participation of women and underrepresented groups in management positions and committees to ensure that different voices are included in decision-making processes. We also provide targeted support and resources for students and staff to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and supported.

Our pursuit of equality at the University of Applied Sciences is an ongoing process. We recognize that there is still much work to be done to create a truly inclusive and equitable higher education community. However, by continuously advocating for change, we are setting an example of social responsibility and contributing to the development of a fairer and more diverse society.
