All people have the same dignity and the same rights. We want to prevent discrimination of any kind at all levels. No one should be discriminated against because of their gender. Equality is actively committed to preventing sexism in all forms and at all levels.

Have you experienced a sexist assault or do you feel disadvantaged because of your gender?

Get in contact with us, we can help!

The Hochschule Niederrhein supports the compatibility of family and studies or career.

In addition to the strategic handling of the topic by the Equal Opportunities Officer, the family service is a permanent offering at The Hochschule Niederrhein. At both locations, offers are made to promote the compatibility of studies, career and family responsibilities. These include the possibility of advice, the provision of U3 places in Krefeld and Mönchengladbach as well as the provision of general information on the childcare landscape, the offer of parent-child rooms as well as breastfeeding and changing rooms, information on parent-child parking spaces and play corners in the library.

You can find more information on the topic of compatibilityhere.

Orientation measures on studies and apprenticeships at The Hochschule Niederrhein are organized for pupils to help them broaden their perspectives and make decisions about their future careers free from traditional gender roles.

Projects in and with schools

Equality regularly organizes lectures, seminars and workshops on gender equality issues, also with the involvement of cooperation partners.

One specialization is the promotion of women with regard to their careers, as women are often disadvantaged in professional life despite having the same performance and often better degrees. In order to counteract this disadvantage, we provide women with knowledge and skills in seminars that enable them to market themselves more effectively.

You can view our current offers in Event Management Ant or under News. We also regularly publish the dates in the university's internal newsletters.

By law, equal opportunities are involved in selection procedures for professorships(appointment procedures) and employees.

When making a career decision for The Hochschule Niederrhein, a decision also depends on the private circumstances for all those who are affected by your change of location or career. That is why we are there for all those affected.

We are a member of the Dual Career Network Rhinelanda network of universities and research facilities. The aim is to attract excellent scientists to the Rhineland region. To this end, the network partners not only offer excellent job opportunities, but also enable dual-career couples to combine career and partnership/family. Academic couples in particular find support here.

The Gender Equality Concept for Parity is an official annex to the University Development Plan (HEP). You can find it here.

The framework plan and the university's equality plans are published on the intranet website.
