Compensation for disadvantages

Compensation for disadvantages in studies are measures that compensate for difficulties in the course of studies and examinations due to impairments. Compensation for disadvantages is always organised on an individual and situation-specific basis and is not awarded across the board. They depend, for example, on the effects of the impairment and the respective degree programme. Compensation for disadvantages is also not a facilitation. The performance targets of the study and examination regulations remain unchanged.

Students have the right to compensation for disadvantages, but not necessarily in the form they wish.

Students must apply for compensation for disadvantages at least six weeks before the first examination by submitting a form to the Chair of the Examination Committee with supporting documents. Students should seek advice from the KIS staff in advance.
