Diversity
General information
Heidelberg University sees the idea of diversity as a contemporary translation of its traditional motto SEMPER APERTUS - always open. Openness applies to ideas and people, regardless of gender or age, origin or creed. The University values the human diversity that shapes it and regards it as a rich source of creativity and innovation.
By dealing with difference and diversity in a respectful and appreciative manner, Ruperto Carola contributes to equal opportunities and also offers its students the opportunity to prepare for their professional future in an ever-changing, increasingly diverse world.
Offering all university members equal opportunities in education and science means breaking down barriers and taking measures to promote all potentials. Actively embracing and shaping the cultural change brought about by internationality and interdisciplinarity in research and teaching is the goal of this university diversity programme.
