Assistance for studies
If, due to an impairment and existing barriers to accessibility, a personal assistant, a sign language interpreter, or a speech-to-text interpreter is required in order to participate in courses and in everyday university life, the assistant may attend the relevant lectures and seminars as an accompanying person. The students are responsible for organizing the assistance services.
Assistance and guide animals
Students who need to be accompanied by an assistance dog or guide dog for the blind require a certificate issued by the university. For further information, please contact the Student Counseling Office.
