Studying with disabilities
If you have a long-term disability that affects your studies, you can receive targeted study support during your time at Uppsala University.
The support offered is based on your individual needs and aims to facilitate your studies. The goal is for all students to have an opportunity to study on equal terms.
You are welcome to contact a coordinator well in advance of starting your studies to discuss your need for support, as well as learn more about the support available in Sweden and at Uppsala University. Please note that the support available in Swedish universities may differ from the support available in other countries.
Language and reading resources
Audio books, hearing loops, programs for spelling and speech synthesis are some of the support available to you as a student.
Study abroad with a disability

Campus accessibility
There is a building manager at every campus whom you can contact if you would like more specific information about the physical accessibility of the campus premises. A number of Uppsala University's departments are located in older buildings, where accessibility may be limited. On many campuses there is access to resting rooms.
