Diversity at HU
Welcome to the diversity info page of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin!
On this website, we present the central guidelines boards and counseling services of HU that work on issues of diversity, equal opportunities and non-discriminiation. On the thematic pages on the dimensions of diversity, you will find the specific points of contact for different target groups at HU.
Staff and students of very diverse backgrounds, abilities and cultures come together at HU. Our university aspires to build a welcoming and appreciative culture towards diversity on campus. This implies creating a study and work environment that allows for each and every one of its members to develop their full potential according to their needs and interests - regardless of age, gender, mental and bodily abilities, religion, social or ethnic background, sexual orientation or family status.
In order to work towards this vision, HU has developed equal opportunity policies for different dimensions of diversity such as the equal treatment of all genders, the inclusion of people with disabilities or chronic illnesses, removing structural barriers based on social status or racial stereotyping as well as facilitating the compatibility of work, studies and family life.
