Studying with a disability
Do you suffer from a chronic illness or a disability? We are committed to making the overall conditions easier for you so that you can enjoy equal opportunities in your studies and to promote inclusion.
By the way: at the Studierendenwerk Stuttgart, as well as at the universities, the special situation is taken into account, for example, in the structural design of the university buildings, refectories and housing complexes - especially when renovating or constructing new buildings.
There are several places students can go to:
- We have several residence halls with low-barrier residential facilities. Click on this link to find out more.
- Our social counselling service will be glad to help you with any questions and problems concerning your studies and how to fund them.
- Students with restricted mobility who are entitled to free use of the local public transport system can be exempted from the “VVS-StudiTicket” fees included in the semester fees.
