Ombudspersons

The University places two Ombudspersons at the academic employees’ disposal. Both work on a voluntary basis and independently and can refer contraventions of the Code of Ethics to the university's own ethics committee. They are the first point of contact for university members if there is a suspicion that a violation of the Code of Ethics has occurred. more

The ombudsperson for students and lecturers is responsible for the internal communication with the University's management and administration. Furthermore, the Ombudsperson listens to the ideas, suggestions and problems expressed by the teaching staff and students, and acts as a mediator between the University's various stakeholder groups. The Ombudsperson offers the possibility of dealing with concerns anonymously, confidentially and in all neutrality, and can contribute to the resolution of personal conflicts on the basis of mediation.
