Studies and Disability
Vilnius University is open for students with disabilities and seeks to create equal opportunities to study for all members of the community. In order to ensure appropriate study environment for students with disabilities, we take into account their individual needs and use flexible study forms.
Students with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in the study process on an equal basis with others. Students who have long-term psychosocial, autism spectrum, attention deficit disorders, learning impairments or difficulties (such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, etc.) are also included in the definition of students with disabilities and can apply for support.
Apart from individualisation of the study process, some students with disabilities are eligible for financial support, they can be provided with assistive technology. If you have a disability, please complete this form before the start of the semester. The Disability Affairs Coordinator will contact you to discuss your individual needs.
