Studying with a disability

People

What are the options?

A range of specialist and practical aids are available and additional academic counselling and adjustments to the program and exams may be possible as well. If you have occasional expenses linked to your disability that are not reimbursable through another body you may appeal to the emergency fund.

If you are enrolled in a regular program taught in Dutch and are receiving a grant (Prestatiebeurs) from the IB Groep you might have your study grant extended in case of delay caused by your disability. Based on this same condition the UvA and HvA have resources for providing financial assistance if you need to prolong your studies.

Students with disabilities can in some cases be given priority for accommodation.
