Students who require special support are entitled to what is known as “targeted pedagogical support,” which gives them the right to alternative forms of examination, such as extended exam time or the option to write exams on a computer.

An enrolled student with a documented disability – regardless of whether he or she is studying at bachelor's, master's or PhD level – can apply for special pedagogical support in connection with his or her studies at Stockholm University.

For our teaching staff, it is also very important to keep in mind the need to include regular breaks during instruction, as well as to plan mandatory course literature well in advance of the course, so that any orders for audiobooks can be arranged in time for the course start.
