Equal value and Equal opportunities at the University of Gothenburg
From first of January 2015 amendments to the Discrimination Act introduced inadequate accessibility for people with disabilities as a new form of discrimination. The University of Gothenburg can support students with disabilities in various ways so that they have an opportunity to carry out their studies on the same terms as other students. Individual students and departments can apply for advice with regard to finding specific solutions to meet the special needs that students with disabilities may have. Examples of disability are impaired hearing and vision, impaired mobility and dyslexia.
