Accessibility for the disabled

Students with functional disabilities will find further information on the Student Affairs webpage.

Wherever possible, the university will take measures enabling disabled individuals to visit, study, and work at the university on equal terms with nondisabled individuals.

The university is continuously working to make facilities, activities & information accessible. Positive treatment of disabled students and employees is a matter of democracy and quality, as is all work done to promote equality of opportunity. The accessibility perspective must always be included when processes of public procurement are undertaken and the wishes and needs of individuals with disabilities should, whenever possible, be taken into account.

Accessibility Action Plan 2009-2012

The action plan is a document common to the whole university and provides details of increased accessibility for persons with disabilities who work, study or contact the University of Gothenburg.
