Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity makes a major contribution to the excellence of our university. By taking account of and supporting equal opportunities and diversity in all its dimensions, we create an attractive culture of teaching and learning, in addition to an innovative work environment.
The University of Basel pursues the objective of being a family-friendly, equality-oriented, nondiscriminatory and accessible university.
Students, researchers and staff at the University of Basel have varied interests and bring with them a variety of experiences.
