Study environment - more than the physical environment

Study environment means the physical, psychological and social conditions that are important for how you as a student feel and function in your study situation. Having a good study environment is important and we have a joint responsibility for it. The University is responsible for providing good conditions and you as a student are responsible for contributing to a pleasant environment.

The study and work environment at the University of Gothenburg must be accessible to all and be free from all forms of discrimination and harassment. As a student, you should feel safe and secure when you study with us.
