Diversity & Inclusion @ 42 Wolfsburg

Why Diversity & Inclusion Matter to Us

At 42 Wolfsburg, we believe that the best ideas, innovations, and progress come from a mix of perspectives and experiences. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s at the heart of who we are. We’re creating a space where everyone—regardless of background, gender, orientation, or ability—feels welcome, supported, and empowered to thrive. Here’s how we bring that commitment to life every day.

An Inclusive Campus Environment

We’re dedicated to making 42 Wolfsburg an environment that everyone can access and feel comfortable in:

✓ Open 24/7: Our doors are always open, making it easy for students to work on their own schedules.

✓ Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible facilities, including lifts and accessible bathrooms. We also offer free hygiene products on campus for our female students.

✓ Comfort Spaces: Resting pods and kitchens where students can recharge and prepare meals.

Empowering Women+ in Tech

We’re passionate about increasing gender diversity in tech. Here are some of the ways we support and celebrate women+ on campus:

✓ International Women’s Day: A key event for us, featuring C-level women in tech who come to campus to share their stories and insights.

✓ Female Representation in Events: From Open Days to Introduction Talks, we make sure women+ voices are heard and represented.

✓ Safer Spaces: We hold meetups for Women+, LGBTQIA+, and People of Color—providing spaces to connect, share, and support each other.

✓ MINT (STEM) Networks and Conferences: We actively connect with MINT networks focused on women+ and attend MINT conferences to build and strengthen community.

Expanding Our DEI Initiatives

Beyond gender and inclusivity in campus life, we’re constantly working to make our environment better for everyone:

✓ Staff Training: Our team participates in unconscious bias and diversity management training to ensure everyone is treated fairly. 

Kids- and Dogs-Friendly Campus: We welcome children and well-behaved dogs on campus, with designated spaces and toys available to support parents and pet owners while maintaining a focused study environment.

 

Promoting DEI Around the Core Curriculum

In our core curriculum, we’re committed to creating a space where all students can succeed and feel represented:

✓ Discovery Piscine for Women+: We host women-focused discovery Piscines in Wolfsburg to welcome new female students to our community.

✓ Sponsorships and Support: We sponsor tickets and other costs for students to attend tech events, conferences, and hackathons.

✓  Student Role Models: Our students and alumni often serve as role models and mentors, demonstrating what’s possible when diversity thrives.


Inclusive Support for Learning

Our curriculum is designed to be adaptable to diverse needs:

✓ Flexible Study Options: All students have the option to take a regular 6-month freeze, helping them balance life and studies.

Open Communication with Staff: Students can book one-on-one sessions with staff whenever they need extra guidance or support.
