Accessibility and inclusivity mean that everyone can study and work equally, no matter their differences or life situations. This allows all students and staff members to be part of the academic community. Accessibility and inclusivity mean, for example, the opportunity to:

  • Receive education and guidance according to personal needs.
  • Participate in university activities.
  • Move around university premises without barriers.
  • Use digital services and learning materials.
