Studying with impairments
Disabled and chronically ill students face many challenges in their studies.
Successful studies of persons with disabilities often require a precise study planning, which has nothing in common with the general requirements of the graduate programme. For not in every course, necessary compensations for disadvantages of the disabled are considered in study/examination rules and the respective spatial situation.
We offer information and advice on the following topics:
- Special regulations BAföG
- Social welfare
- Health insurance
- Severely disabled identification card
