Studying with Disabilities
Table of contents
The TU Dresden strives for a low-barrier design of the studies as well as the study environment (see Inclusion). If your health is impaired (disability or chronic illness), there are often special questions and topics concerning your studies. Numerous support and counselling services are available to help you participate in your studies on an equal footing with your chances.
You will find answers to frequently asked questions about hardship regulations, compensating for disadvantages, non-accreditation and leave of absence in the FAQ.
