If you have a physical disability

Types of support

As a student with a physical disability, you may be eligible for the following types of support:

• Ergonomic aids for your home environment
  These tools can help reduce physical strain and allow for varied study positions. Examples include ergonomic chairs, desks, computer mice, keyboards, bookstands, or height-adjustable desks.
• Digital assistive devices
  This may include tools such as a dictaphone or Dictus for notetaking, or an IT starter package designed for students with mobility difficulties.
• Practical assistance
  A personal assistant can help with tasks such as moving around campus, unpacking books, eating, or using the restroom.
• Secretary assistance
  This may include help with notetaking, larger written assignments, exam registration, photocopying, library research, and similar academic tasks.

Please note: All IT equipment is loaned and must be returned if you withdraw from or complete your education. Furniture such as chairs and desks can usually be kept.

Accessibility at DTU

At DTU, all new buildings are constructed in accordance with accessibility standards for individuals with disabilities. We also work continuously to ensure accessibility in existing facilities. However, there may be a small number of buildings at DTU where the nature of academic activities means that accessibility for individuals with certain physical disabilities is limited due to safety regulations.

If you have a physical impairment that requires specific accessibility accommodations in the areas you frequent, you are welcome to contact the SPS Office (aus-sps@adm.dtu.dk) or Campus Service (cas-service@adm.dtu.dk). Together, we will find the best possible solution for your situation.
