Hochschule Niederrhein. Your way.

Welcome to our social media community!

The Hochschule Niederrhein stands for orientation and optimism. We strive to express this on our social media channels and in our posts. Everyone should find their way at The Hochschule Niederrhein. We are a diverse university that offers the same opportunities to all its students, staff and lecturers, regardless of origin, gender or age. We use our social media channels for an open dialog and are happy to engage in a lively exchange and constructive and critical debate. We believe that the tone online should be just as respectful, factual and polite as in face-to-face conversations.

Therefore, please observe the following rules when commenting:

No discrimination

Discriminatory or defamatory statements against other users or social groups based on religion, origin, nationality, sexual orientation, age, gender or disability are strictly prohibited. Posts that are discriminatory, anti-constitutional, demagogic, illegal, pornographic, extremist, racist, vulgar or otherwise inappropriate will be deleted without explanation.

Slander and defamation of character

Slanderous and defamatory statements are not permitted. Please also think carefully about what personal information you share on the Internet.
