Vid Yrkeshögskolan Novia gäller absolut nolltolerans mot rasism. Novia är en internationell högskola och behandlar alla studerande jämlikt. Vi jobbar för att såväl personal som studerande visar varandra ömsesidig respekt oberoende av nationalitet, kulturell bakgrund, språk, kön eller religion. Vi önskar att det internationella inslaget ska bli ännu tydligare och synligare vid Novia och välkomnar studerande av alla nationaliteter att skapa en internationell studiemiljö vid vår högskola.


 At Novia University of Applied Sciences  we emphasize that racism in no form has any place within our university. Novia is an international university and treats all students equally. We expect both students and staff to show each other respect, regardless of nationality, cultural background, language, gender, or religion. We encourage the international richness of Novia UAS to be fully expressed, and welcome students of all nationalities to help create an international study environment at our university.
