Studying with Disabilities

Removing barriers. Enabling access.

For our students

Removing barriers. Enabling access. To ensure you can focus fully on your studies, we want to provide you with the best possible support. We offer support for physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, as well as for conditions related to neurodevelopmental disorders (such as ADHD, dyslexia or autism) and mental health conditions.


For personalised advice on planning your course of study, please contact the academic counseling service for your degree programme directly. It may also be helpful to speak to the programme coordinators for your degree programme.

In addition, Prof. Hoch may also request a consultation if there are any questions or uncertainties regarding your application.


After the review process, your application will be forwarded to the Chairperson of the responsible Examination Board for your degree programme for a decision.
