Students with disabilities and chronic illness
Applicants and students with disabilities as well as people with chronic or mental illness can contact the "Representative for the concerns of students with disabilities and chronic illness" for confidential advice and information on application and study planning.
Sections 4, 9 and 31 of the Berlin Higher Education Act (BerlHG) require universities to take into account the special needs of students with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses.
The counseling is integrated into the office of the General Student Counseling of the Department for Student Affairs, so that as a rule all concerns and questions regarding study design (including international mobility), examination matters, etc. can be clarified promptly and competently.
The weißensee kunsthochschule berlin has appointed Ms. Susan Lipp for this responsible task. Her representative is Ms. Brigitte Dierker.
In a confidential conversation, the possibilities of the students and also applicants are discussed with regard to an appropriate form of examination. After consultation with the person concerned, the relevant departments are then involved. In practice, upon request, the entire study situation is reviewed and individually adapted with regard to the specific needs of the impaired student, and examination facilitations - as far as possible - are already offered to applicants who have to take an artistic entrance examination.
Students can submit an informal application (>> sample application) to Susan Lipp for study and examination concessions, so-called compensation for disadvantages.
This also applies to students who have changed universities and to guest or exchange students.
Compensation for disadvantages is a formal regulation designed to compensate for impairments caused by illness or disability. The aim is to ensure that everyone has the same opportunities during their studies.
It would be desirable to clarify the possibility of applying to StudierendenWERK BERLIN for integration assistance for which a fee is charged, e.g. sign language interpreters for persons who are not yet enrolled, i.e. student applicants.
