Studying with a Disability or Chronic Illness
Starting a degree program, exploring a new city, acquainting oneself with unfamiliar subjects, taking examinations – these are challenges all new students face when they arrive at university.
However, for students living with a disability or chronic illness, the journey from enrollment to successful graduation involves much greater effort and the additional challenge of overcoming various barriers.
The University of Freiburg aims for its students with a disability or chronic illness to participate in their studies and student life as equally and independently as possible and to support them in managing their studies – from the first semester to the Ph.D. – with various information and counseling services.
We are happy to advise you on support options during your studies, offer guidance, or assist you in case of conflict.
