University Health Management at TU Dresden
The aim of the University Health Management (UHM) is to guide TU Dresden on its way to becoming a healthy university.
A Healthy Workplace and a Healthy Environment
The promotion of occupational safety, as well as health and environmental protection, is a central element for healthy working and studying conditions. This includes the barrier-free and environmentally-friendly campus design, work and study spaces, and learning and teaching materials.
Organisational Health
A healthy university also provides: equal opportunities; opportunities to reconcile work and family commitments; healthy role-models, healthy work organisation; valued communication and interaction with one another; conflict management; change management.
Individual Health
The promotion of individual health is supported through personal resources and the maintenance of good overall health. The four main fields of action consist of preventative health care, sports and nutrition, mental health, as well as assisting the return to work after illness.
On our website, you can explore the numerous health-promoting offers at TU Dresden, at institutions affiliated to the TU Dresden and at the University Hospital Dresden which are available for employees and students of TU Dresden.
