Studying with a disability

Perhaps you suffer from dyslexia or have a hearing or visual impairment or physical disability. There is no reason why you cannot enrol in a degree programme at a university of applied sciences. THUAS has numerous facilities and adaptations that can help make studying easier for you. Possibilities include extra time to take exams, extra guidance and a specially equipped rest area. In order to provide the appropriate assistance, you must mention when registering that you have a functional limitation. You will then be invited to meet with a student counsellor, who will examine all the possibilities in your specific situation together with you. These possibilities are usually quite numerous.
