Studying with a Disability
The Studentenwerk Marburg offers different services to students with disabilities to allow them to go about their daily study life as independently as possible. This includes, alongside the advisory service and canteen assistance, the facilities at the integrated student residence in the Konrad-Biesalski House. Here students with and without disabilities live together. In the following we will give a short overview:

Scholarships
Within the talent programme a course of study can be partly financed through scholarship grants. These modalities depend on the funding from the different organisations. In addition, there a number of further institutions that support different groups of students. More information an be found under:
Particular circumstances under which university places are given to students with disabilities.
Application for restricted courses of study
Students with disabilities or with chronic illnesses that are interested in applying for a restricted course of study can also apply for special circumstances, which help compensate disadvantages due to disabilities. For further information see the Foundation for University Admissions (Stiftung für Hochschulzulassung):
Consideration for the first place of study
Applications from students with a severely disabled pass can expect that the Foundation for University Admissions will fulfill their wishes regarding place of study. Without a severely disabled pass a request can be made for priority consideration for a preferred place of study. Furthermore, there is a possibility to apply for the following special requests:
Hardship applications:
With a hardship application, applicants that find themselves in difficult circumstances will be accepted into their course of study straight away. Only the certificate of servere disability alone will not suffice for the recognition of a hardship application. Medical conditions have to be verified with a specialised medical report. Special circumstances include, for example, an illness showing a trend towards worsening of condition which implies that the future course of study will be difficult to endure. In these cases an acceptance is immediate.
The Studentenwerk Marburg supports the creation of a place with equal opportunities for students with disability and chronic illness.
Advice for students with disabilities and chronic illnesses empowers these students to lead an independent and equal study life without outside help. They are able to handle challenges well and take part in life at university.
15.7% of students at Marburg study with a health impairment - quite often their handicap can impede their studies. The results of a nationwide study show that students in Germany with disabilities suspend their studies more often than students without disabilities. (27% vs. 8%) and study longer (7.9 vs. 6.8 semesters).
In the past years many efforts have been made to give people with disabilities and chronic illnesses the same chances at university. This has led to considerable improvements in their study situation.
However, students with disabilities and chronic illnesses still have to compensate for the many structural deficiencies at university and overcome existing barriers.
