What types of accommodations are available if I qualify for compensation for disadvantages?
We can offer different types of accommodations to adapt study and examination conditions to your needs.
For example:
- Preferred admission to courses with limited capacity
- Adaptations to class scheduling and organization
- Adaptations to classroom/study space setup
- Adaptations to internship conditions
- You can be granted extra time to complete your degree, i.e., anyone can apply for extra time to complete their bachelor’s or master’s degree, or you can apply for a semester on leave or part-time study
- Use of individual technical aids or a personal assistant (request to be submitted via studierendenWERK BERLIN)
In the case of examinations (pursuant to Section 9 of the Framework Regulations for Degree Programs and Examinations):
- Changes to examination conditions, e.g., a separate room, providing a seat
- Changes to allocated time for certain purposes: changes to scheduling of examinations; extra time given to complete written examinations, term papers, and final theses, exercises, projects; allowing for one or more breaks
Compensations for disadvantages and accommodations can vary widely depending on the nature of your chronic illness or disability. We recommend arranging a consultation with us to determine which accommodations and study conditions are suitable for you.
