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. You can download the application form below. The application must be handed in to the Studierendenwerk Stuttgart. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Ms Wimmer on +49-711-9574-517 or send an e-mail to: rueckerstattung@sw-stuttgart.de
  • You will find more useful information and help at the Information Centre for Study and Disability of the German Student Union (Informationsstelle Studium und Behinderung des Deutschen Studentenwerks)
  • The universities' Officers for students with disabilities represent your concerns and interests at the universities and at the university location.They will help you create suitable learning and working conditions that take into account your individual needs and will provide information on how, in individual cases, technical and personnel assistance can be obtained.
