Support for students with special needs

As a student at DTU, you may be eligible for Special Educational Support (SPS) if you have permanent, documented functional impairment. The SPS unit can help you apply for and establish support. We can also guide you in applying for special examination conditions.

What is SPS?

SPS is intended to compensate for your disability so that you can study on equal terms with your fellow students.

Functional impairments may include:

  • Dyslexia (literacy problems)
  • Psychological diagnoses
  • Neurological diagnoses
  • Visual impairment
  • Hearing impairment
  • Physical disability
  • Chronic or severe illness
  • Dyscalculia (mathematical disability)
