Studying with Special Needs

At the Institute for Empirical Cultural Studies, we strive, as does the University of Hamburg, to make our events inclusive. If you have specific needs, please do not hesitate to contact us. You can, for example, contact the lecturer or the academic advisor. Some contact points for specific issues are listed here.

Studying with disabilities

As a central point of contact, the Office for Students with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses provides important information for studying with disabilities and is aimed at:

• Prospective students
• Applicants
• Students
• Doctoral candidates (who are not members of academic staff)

Here you will find further information on this topic available for download.

If you are experiencing psychological stress, you can contact the psychological counselling service.
