LGBTIQ* - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans*, Inter* and Queer: This acronym stands for diversity of gender and sexual preferences.
At TU Braunschweig all students are welcome – regardless of their gender identity and sexual orientation! The Diversity Office gives advice to students who experience(d) discrimination and therefore face barriers in their studies.
The equal opportunity office promotes gender equality, supporting students and prospective researchers and takes part in individually tailored programs for different types of qualification.
You may use the form ("Vorlage zur Information über passende Pronomen") at Downloads (tu-braunschweig.de) (german only) to inform lecturers about your preferred pronouns.
If you requested an additional identity card or handed in a request for Personenstandsänderung, you can request a change of gender or name at the Student Office. Formulare & Downloads (tu-braunschweig.de) (Änderung der Geschlechtsangabe oder des Vornamens (nach TSG) - german only).
This way your data in TUconnect will be changed accordingly and you receive for example a new mensa card and/or e-mail address. Contact us if you have any questions about it.
