The University of Helsinki does not approve of any kind of inappropriate behaviour, bullying or harassment
It is imperative for everyone to feel welcome in the University community just as they are. Each community member is responsible for creating a safe space for others. This is why we have outlined and follow our shared principles whenever we meet and interact with one another. If you observe inappropriate behaviour in the university community, please address it.
Inappropriate behaviour
- If you are treated inappropriately, talk to the person in question and ask them to stop. They may not realise that their behaviour is offensive.
- If you feel another student is treating you inappropriately, you can contact the course teacher, as they have primary responsibility for all teaching situations, including those in which problems occur.
- If a member of staff treats your inappropriately, you can contact the head of academic affairs of your home faculty, the degree programme director or the University harassment contact person.
- If you experience inappropriate behaviour in student social activities, you should first contact the University of Helsinki Student Union’s harassment contact persons or the harassment contact persons of your student nation, association or organisation.
The equality adviser supports the promotion of equality at the University of Helsinki. Please contact the equality adviser at tasa-arvovastaava@helsinki.fi.
The Faculty of Medicine has drawn up a special code of conduct for how we encounter each other and behave at our Faculty. Familiarize yourself with the procedure guide in Flamma. All discussions are confidential and you are free to contact anyone.
You can find the university's policies on equality, diversity, and accessibility in the student guidelines.
