Students with Disabilities

The Viadrina supports all students with chronic illnesses or physical disabilities. Students on the social networking site StudiVZ voted us one of the most "disability friendly" universities in Germany as a result of this effort. These services are also fully available to international exchange students at the Viadrina.
