Equal opportunities for men and women
Bern University of Applied Sciences promotes true gender equality and strives to ensure that men and women are equally represented at all levels of the organisational structure and in all roles.
The promotion of true gender equality is governed by the Personnel Act (PG Art. 4 lit. f) and the Personnel Ordinance (PV Art. 3) of the Canton of Bern, and the Law (FaG Art. 14) and Ordinance (FaV Art. 9) of the Bern University of Applied Sciences. The types of measures to be taken in order to achieve gender equality at BFH are set out in the BFH statutes (FaSt Art. 44) and in the regulations governing equal opportunities for men and women at BFH (GFMR).
The current ‘Equal opportunities action plan’ contains measures to achieve true gender equality at BFH.
