Office for Students with Disabilities

The Office is a University reference centre that offers support to students with disabilities with the aim of providing equal opportunities and improving the quality of their education.

The Office is intended for all students who, due to an illness or disability, experience difficulties in conducting everyday academic activities (students with visual or hearing impairments, motor disabilities, chronic illnesses, mental disorders and illness, specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dysgraphia and ADHD and other health issues and impairments that might affect the course of their education).

Important roles at the Office are played by:

• Coordinators for students with disabilities – teachers appointed at each of the University’s constituent units (faculties/academies): contact-persons that students can turn to in relation to their right to have courses or exams adjusted to their needs, and for any other issues related to students with disabilities.
• Coordination for students with disabilities – student representatives appointed at each of the University’s constituent units, who are tasked with presenting needs, proposing activities and evaluating actions that have been implemented.
