Advice for Students with Health Impairments

At universities, accessibility is guaranteed, for example, on the premises, in teaching and in communication. By means of disadvantage compensation, individual arrangements and measures can be made for those/wherever this accessibility is not guaranteed or cannot be guaranteed.

Prospective students and students whose ability to study is affected by a disability or chronic illness can trustingly turn to the representative for students with health impairments for advice on the subject of compensation for disadvantages.
