A successful degree programme requires an environment that adapts flexibly to real-life situations. At Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, we are explicitly committed to creating a respectful, inclusive and non-discriminatory campus through our signing of the Diversity Charter and our own diversity management strategy. These are values that apply to everyone at the university ā students, teaching staff, researchers and administrative staff alike. Through our diversity management approach, we strategically bring together the themes of equal opportunities, health and internationalisation under one umbrella to provide you with the best possible support at every stage of your studies.
At HSMW, we are united in our commitment to the ambitious task of making science and education equally accessible to everyone. This is entirely independent of gender, age, ethnic origin, skin colour, social class, mental and physical abilities, family circumstances, sexual orientation and a wide range of other personal characteristics.
We are committed to diversity, equal opportunities and anti-discrimination through our Diversity Management programme. This encompasses gender equality, support for people with disabilities or impairments, family-friendly policies, health management and internationalisation as equal pillars of diversity in campus life at HSMW.
Studying and family life perfectly balanced.
HSMW is officially certified as a āfamily-friendly universityā. For you, this means that if you are bringing up children or caring for relatives, you will benefit from binding, structural support measures. We actively support you in balancing your family responsibilities with your academic future without having to make compromises. For example, childcare places are available at the campus in nurseries for HSMW students.
Accessible planning, unrestricted studying.
A physical disability, a chronic condition or a mental health condition should not be a barrier to your education. Our specialist social support service advises and supports you even before you start your studies, helping with any questions you may have about accessibility on campus and online. During your studies, measures to compensate for disadvantages can be put in place, including adapting examination formats to suit your needs.
Fair conditions for every talented individual.
Gender, ethnicity or a family background without a strong academic tradition must not be barriers. The Equality pillar at HSMW actively promotes genuine gender equality and equal opportunities across all faculties, so that your success is determined solely by your abilities.
Study successfully ā stay healthy.
Your health and wellbeing are important to us. Our University Health Management team supports you with a wide range of services and initiatives to help you stay healthy throughout your studies. Whether itās stress management or preventative care ā with us, youāll find ways to actively look after your health, gain new inspiration and boost your wellbeing.
Learning with an open mind, building global connections.
As a cosmopolitan university, we promote exchange between diverse cultures. Whether youāre joining us from abroad or are a student from Germany seeking global perspectives ā weāll help you build connections from day one. In doing so, we treat one another with acceptance. This applies not only to different cultural backgrounds but also to issues of sexual orientation and gender identity. At HSMW, we treat everyone equally and expect mutual respect and appreciation from all members of our university community.
