Studying brings with it many new impressions, opportunities and sometimes also challenges. If you are studying with a chronic illness or disability, you are not alone at the University of Kassel.

The Service Center for Studies and Disability supports students in breaking down potential barriers in everyday student life and finding suitable solutions. We provide you with confidential and individual advice - regardless of whether it concerns the organization of your studies, compensation for disadvantages or questions about everyday university life. We also advise lecturers and examination offices in order to create a study environment that is as inclusive as possible.

Our aim is to promote diversity and enable all students to study successfully and independently.

Don't hesitate to contact us - we are here for you!
