Facilities for special needs students

Computer rooms are barrier free. Barrier free access is also ensured at all other faculties except the Faculty of Fine Arts. The study conditions are adapted to the individual needs of students. Faculties set up individual timetables offering cooperation with the tutor as needed in a particular course.
