The AKG and your Studies

 

The AKG offers help, advice and support on questions concerning discrimination in the course of your studies.

In cases of discrimination and harassment, the AKG provides information, counselling and support. Counselling sessions can be used to discuss strategies and possible further steps. All enquiries and information are treated confidentially and, if you so wish, anonymously. All members of the Working Group are bound by a duty of confidentiality.

We are here to help!

The AKG has the right to be present at board examinations (such as entrance or final examinations), including the board’s non-public session. If you see any reason for a member of the AKG to accompany you to your examination, please contact us as early as possible.

Good to know:

If you are interested in the gender distribution at the mdw, whether in your own degree programme or in others, we also recommend the Gender Statistics compiled annually by the AKG (current edition for 2024).

The AKG also maintains its own specialist library, which is being continually expanded – you can view the holdings directly here and order items through the University Library.
