Studieren mit Beeinträchtigung
The HAWK’s primary concern regarding “studying with disabilities, impairments and chronic illnesses” is to enable equal and independent participation in academic life and offer targeted information and advisory services.
Impairments often present students with unique organisational challenges. However, these should not hinder their academic success. The HAWK provides comprehensive support to students from enrolment to successful graduation.
If you have a disability or chronic illness, you may be entitled to compensatory measures to help you:
- secure a place on a study programme at the HAWK (hardship application)
- complete your studies without obstacles (compensatory measures during your studies)
- complete a period abroad at a partner university within the ERASMUS+ programme in Europe or an international internship (additional funding).
"Disabilities and chronic illnesses are part of human diversity. As the Senate representative for the concerns of students with disabilities, I am committed to ensuring that students with impairments, disabilities or chronic illnesses can enjoy studying at the HAWK, that inclusion is visible on campus, and that existing rights are actually realised. I am happy to offer individual advice during office hours. Please send me an email to arrange an appointment or sign up for the office hours list in Stud.IP if you are already a student at the HAWK."
“The experiences of students with disabilities and chronic illnesses demonstrate that ‘disability’ in higher education is not a fixed state. Rather, there are several ‘levers’ on the side of universities to improve the quality of study and remove barriers. As Deputy Senate representative, in close collaboration with Prof. Dr. Viviane Schachler, I advocate for the concerns of students with impairments and chronic illnesses. I am happy to offer individual advice to help you study successfully and enjoyably at the HAWK."
Contact
Almost every faculty at the HAWK has representatives for students with disabilities and chronic illnesses who can advise on compensatory measures and local accessibility.
Furthermore, the Senate representative, Prof.in Dr. Viviane Schachler, and her deputy, Prof.in Dr. Karin Cudak, serve as central points of contact responsible for ensuring that the needs of students with impairments, chronic illnesses and disabilities are met in university life.
