Funding Support for Disabled Students in Postgraduate Studies
New regulations will allow universities to use state subsidies to support persons with disabilities applying for or enrolled in postgraduate studies. This ensures these students gain access to accommodations like sign language interpreters and assistants, which were previously funded mainly for undergraduate and doctoral students.
Key points
Universities will be legally able to fund support for disabled postgraduate students using state budget subsidies.
Assistance includes alternative exam forms, assistant support, sign language interpreters, and adapted learning materials.
The changes take effect on January 1, 2027, and do not involve extra funding for universities, but rather more flexible spending of existing funds.
