Functional impairment

If you have ADD, ADHD, ASS, dyslexia or another functional impairment that might affect your studies or study progress, please read the information on studying with a functional impairment here. Also good to check out the information tool which informs students with a functional impairment or chronic illness, about the application process for exam facilities. In some cases, you can file your application online, but in other cases you need to make an appointment with an academic/study advisor and/or student counsellor. This depends on the nature of your request. If you would like to apply for special provisions, please contact your study advisor as soon as possible, and in any case before 1 July 2024.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact the study advisors of Media Studies Erika Kastelein or Tessa Hummel.
