Equal opportunities at the Protestant University of Applied Sciences Ludwigsburg

The fundamental university-wide goal of equal opportunities is to achieve and maintain gender equality by eliminating existing and preventing future disadvantages and discrimination. At the university, particular attention is paid to the compatibility of family and studies, e.g. through the university's own childcare facilities. In addition, it is important for universities to achieve gender parity at all qualification levels, to reduce structural disadvantages and to ensure equal development opportunities.

The equal opportunity mandate at the Protestant University of Applied Sciences Ludwigsburg, which affects students, is also a special one. Two exemplary aspects: Female students are significantly overrepresented in all degree programs at the university. In this respect, one of the equality goals is to increase the proportion of male students. The disproportionate share of women also continues in the practical fields of the degree programs offered by the university. However, while women increasingly work in leading positions, men are more likely to reach management level. Consequently, another goal is to anchor gender equality issues in teaching and research and to specifically promote female careers.
