Studying with a disability or illness

Studying with a disability or chronic illness

Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences is here to help you make a success of your studies.

The Study Advisory Service and the Officer for Students with Disabilities or Chronic Illnesses will provide you with confidential advice if, due to your particular circumstances, you have any questions about organising your studies or about adjustments to Examinations to compensate for any disadvantages.

The handbook ‘Studying and Disability’ (see below) provides an overview of the key topics. Whilst this information is helpful, it generally cannot replace a face-to-face consultation.
