Since coming into force in 2006, the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) has regulated protection against discrimination in certain areas of life that fall under civil law. This online training course will provide an overview of the AGG and the legal protection against discrimination it regulates. Case studies will be used to develop an initial understanding of the possibilities and limits of protection against discrimination under the AGG. Together we will look at the applicability and relevance of the AGG in the university context.
