Safety on campus
Safety on campus is a top priority at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU). From safety on campus paths to emergency and service numbers to protection against sexual assault, the university is committed to ensuring that you feel safe when working and studying here.
HHU wants to offer you an environment in which you can concentrate on learning, researching, and working—with reliable measures, clear points of contact, and continuous improvements.
Don't hesitate to find out about prevention services, emergency call options, and counseling services so that you can get through everyday university life safely at all times.
The HHU security service has compiled useful numbers and tips for dangerous situations for you.
Now that it is getting dark earlier, some may feel concerned about walking around the extensive campus. Anyone who is out later in the evening can contact the security service on extension 11666 and register in advance for the accompaniment service.
Whether you need to know how to contact the accompaniment service service on dark mornings/evenings, the security service at University Hospital Düsseldorf or the email address for the security service provided by the university administration, you can find all the important contacts, telephone numbers and information you need to know when it comes to safety on campus in the new safety card published by the Central Equal Opportunities Officer.
Pregnant women may use special parking spaces on campus from the sixth month of pregnancy. An informal written application including the vehicle registration certificate and pregnancy record booklet is sufficient.
To prevent sexualised assaults on campus and to protect all university students and staff, HHU has set out a guideline on dealing with sexualised discrimination and violence and established a point of contact for complaints and advice.
The purpose of the German General Act on Equal Treatment (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz – AGG), which entered into force in 2006, is to prevent or stop discrimination on the grounds of Race or ethnic origin, Gender, Religion or belief, Disability, Age or Sexual orientation. Legislators have explicitly stipulated that employees have the right to lodge complaints.
The brochure Counseling Services provides an overview of all services available on the campuses of Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU), Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences (HSD), and Düsseldorf University Hospital (UKD).
