How can the ombudspersons help you?

We...

  • listen to you if you have problems, are discriminated against or suffer from harassment.
  • conduct a safe, comfortable and confidential one-on-one discussion with you outside formal channels.
  • analyse conflicts and problems objectively and impar­tially.
  • offer innovative and informal, cooperative rather than confrontational, solutions, and try to find them together with you.
  • provide valuable advice and guidance for successful problem-solving.
  • mediate impartially in case of conflicts with other university members or institutions.
  • collect complaints and enable the dialogue between students and the University.

Dear international students,
