Service and AdviceInclusive Studies
Removing barriers and compensating for disadvantages
Inclusive studies happen when students with and without disabilities or chronic illnesses are able to participate in all areas of the university community from the start of their studies to their degree and be as successfully as possible in this.
To this end, we as the Inclusive Studies Team are building networks, structures, and knowledge, raising awareness, and providing information, advice, and support.
Join us as an affected person or participant by asking questions, giving feedback, asking for support, breaking down barriers, starting initiatives, and developing collaborations. We are your point of contact for inclusive studies at Heidelberg University.
