Being active in your studies and career with a health impairment harbors many challenges for everyone involved. Goethe University has firmly anchored the key objective of inclusion in action plans and strategies, and supports you in many areas. Numerous stakeholders are working towards implementing inclusion. 

Goethe University is committed to the equal participation of people with and without health impairments (physical or mental illness, disability) and has set out to become an inclusive university. Here you can find out what support options are available if an impairment affects your work situation, and receive information on implementing accessibility and inclusion - also in view of the university's current regulations and goals.
