Special Educational Support (SPS)

Special Educational Support (SPS) is an offer to students with disabilities.

The purpose of SPS is to ensure that all students have the opportunity to educate themselves on equal terms even if they have a disability. You can get information and guidance on the support available for students with disabilities by contacting the department for Special Educational Support at Aarhus University (AU). We will also ensure that any relevant support is applied for and started up for you.

All our work is confidential. Any information you give to us will not be passed on to other departments within AU without your consent.
