You plan to begin or continue your studies at Goethe University as a student living with an impairment of health – a chronic condition, a mental health issue or a disability?
As a member of staff or faculty, you help to shape university life and have questions on how an impairment might influence your work and what adequate measures of support there could be in a given situation?
On this website, we intend to provide you with detailed information on studying with a disability (health impairment) at Goethe University, and on how to continue your career while coping with a health issue.
Here you will find:
- Information on counselling and advisory services, and the right persons or offices to contact
- Practical advice for people with disabilities or health issue at your university
and, specifically for students:
We are well aware that studying with a health impairment presents additional barriers and challenges – for all concerned, including the university itself. However, it also constitutes a crucial and inspiring chance to discover new options and spheres of action – beyond the impairment.
Goethe University has begun its evolution toward becoming an inclusive university. In August 2020, its Action Plan on Inclusion was put into effect. (Read the announcement in German here.)
We would like to support the development of your talents – unimpaired, and without limits.
