Services for students with a disability or (chronic) illness

It is estimated that there are more than 4,000 students at the University of Tübingen whose ability to study is affected by illness and/or disability. In order to support such students, the University of Tübingen offers special counseling services that can be used at any stage of studies, or even before the start of studies.

Katrin Motta and Carmen Schüßler are the contact persons for students with a disability or (chronic) illness. International students can also approach Susanne Held, the counselor for international students.

Within the team of the Student Counseling Service, Birgit Grunschel, and Hanna Rindfleisch are also available for counseling, as well as Susanne Held specifically for international students.

You can contact us easily and in various ways. Just call us or send an e-mail to: zsbspam prevention@uni-tuebingen.de

Our counseling is voluntary, confidential and open-ended. Possible topics may include:

• Deciding on the appropriate type of study and university
• Planning and organizing your studies
• Looking for possible alternatives
• Financing your studies
• Finding a suitable place to live
• Coping with personally difficult situations
• Assistance in everyday study routines
• Getting access to necessary tools and resources
• Individual adjustment of study conditions and application for disablility accommodation ("Nachteilsausgleich").
