Course Information
At the introduction of a course the course responsible must inform the students regarding the policy of equal opportunities at our institution. To help out with this task the Equal opportunities working group have created two Powerpoint slides that can be used for this purpose.

Organisation
The University Board and the Vice-Chancellor have ultimate responsibility for ensuring that continuous initiatives promoting equal opportunities and counteracting discrimination are implemented at Uppsala University. The chair of each disciplinary domain/faculty board, the heads of departments and every manager and team leader at the University have operative responsibility. The work must take place in collaboration between employers and employees and between the university and the students.
Fairness and quality
Uppsala University is a place of work and study for over 50,000 people. Here, everyone should be able to perform on equal terms. All students and employees must be met with an environment characterised by respect and understanding, regardless of sex, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, functional diversity, sexual orientation or age.
For us, this is obvious. It is a matter of both fairness and quality. Here you can read more about Uppsala University's work with the conditions for everyone to be able to work and study with us on equal terms.
