Studying abroad if you have a disability
Do you have a permanent disability and want to study abroad? You may be able to receive extra support during your exchange. If your exchange is part of the Erasmus programme, you can apply for extra financial support.
Support and service for students with disabilities may be organised differently in different countries. The definition of disability also differs between countries and the available support varies between higher education institutions.
Södertörn University and the host higher education institution have a shared responsibility for preparations to allow students with permanent disabilities to participate in exchanges.
