studying with a disability
This compilation does not claim to be complete and is provided without guarantee.
Students with disabilities are entitled to “educational assistance at a university” in accordance with § 39 of the Federal Social Welfare Law (BSHG) and § 54 of the Twelfth Social Law Code (SGB XII) as well as § 33 of the Fifth Social Law (SGB V) and § 27 of the Second Social Law (SGB II). This is specified in the Integration Assistance Ordinance.
If BAföG or personal funds are not sufficient to cover living expenses and finance the necessary aids, students with disabilities or chronic illnesses can claim additional expenses under certain conditions.
Note for students who do not have their main residence in the federal state of Bremen:
Integration assistance must be applied for at the local office assigned to your main place of residence. Please find out which office is responsible for you.
