Students at the University of Oldenburg have various options for applying for adjustments to accommodate personal limitations and difficulties arising from the university’s requirements. This applies to both their studies and their examinations.

Personal limitations or difficulties may include, for example:

dyslexia, specific learning difficulties, trauma, chronic illnesses, particular life circumstances (being a single parent, caring for a family member, breastfeeding, etc.) and so on.

Please note that arrangements for allowances for special needs must be clarified with the relevant examiners before registering for an examination.
