Code of integrity 

Hanze UAS trains professionals and develops applicable and practice oriented knowledge for the benefit of companies and institutions in the north of the Netherlands and beyond. In places where people work together, questions and tensions may arise about ethical issues. Our Code of Integrity describes guidelines for desired behaviour. The code applies to all staff members of Hanze UAS. We expect everyone, including students, to act in the spirit of the code. This code wants to offer a guideline to desired behaviour and any discussions about desired behaviour, so that our core values of responsibility, respect and active tolerance can be expressed. The Code of Integrity is only available in Dutch, you can find it here.
