Equal Opportunities

Both at the University of Mannheim and the School of Business Informatics and Mathematics, it is our goal to provide all groups with equal opportunities, and to promote the equality between women and men.
While the Department of Gender Equality and Social Diversity and the equal opportunities commissioner of the university take care of matters relating to equal opportunities and family policies at university level, the School of Business Informatics and Mathematics also has its own equal opportunities commissioner for students and academic staff at the school.
