Advice and support for students with disabilities or chronic illnesses

The University of Passau offers students with disabilities one-on-one advice and support at any stage of their student career. According to the latest social survey by the German National Association for Student Affairs, conducted in academic year 2016–17, 11% of students at German universities have a health impairment that affects their ability to study. These include:

  • mental illnesses (53%)
  • chronic somatic diseases (e.g. chronic inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatism, chronic pain) (20%)
  • other long-term illnesses/impairments (e.g. tumours, autism spectrum disorder) (6%)
  • impaired movement (4%)
  • partial performance disorders (e.g. dyslexia)
  • hearing/speech impairments (3%)
  • visual impairments (3 %)

This means you are not alone if you have an impairment that makes your studies more difficult. In order to support you in successfully completing your studies, we have compiled helpful information for you on these pages.
