Academic Adjustments in coursework and examinations: first information and tips for students

Around 16% of students in Germany study with a disability, chronic illness, or other health condition that can make studying more challenging.

At Bremen City  University of Applied Sciences, this corresponds to around 1,400 students.
For more than 95% of them, the condition is not visible.

Health conditions that may affect studying include for example:

• mental health conditions or chronic illnesses
• mobility, vision, hearing, or speech impairments
• specific learning differences
• autism spectrum conditions

Sometimes a temporary or long-term health condition can affect:

• exams
• deadlines
• attendance or participation in courses
• other aspects of everyday student life

In such cases, students may apply for academic adjustments (Nachteilsausgleich).
Academic adjustments help ensure that students are not disadvantaged because of their condition.
