The content always remains the same!

The compensation of disadvantages is central to a study program based on equal opportunities. In individual cases, the study or examination conditions are modified. However, only the framework conditions are changed and not the content of the examination or the course of study. The required performance always remains the same for all students!

Maternity leave and family

Family responsibilities, pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding must not lead to disadvantages. Hardship cases and the compensation for disadvantages ensure equal opportunities.
