Alternative methods of examination

Students with special need have the right to alternative examination methods.

The aim is to compensate for impairment-related disadvantages in examinations and courses with examinations.

General information can be found on the website of the Team Barrierefrei.

The following recommended procedure applies to the examinations and courses offered by our directorate of studies (SPL 25 & SPL 51):

1. Information meeting with the Team Barrierefrei
2. Submission of the application form with interview to the Director of Studies (during the consultation hours of the SPL or optionally also possible by e-mail: mathematik.spl@univie.ac.at)

We recommend that you use the university's internal form for the confirmation of study-relevant functional impairments as specialist/therapeutic proof. The form is designed in such a way that no medical terminology needs to be used. This makes processing easier for the directorate of studies. General information on certificates and the form can be found on the University of Vienna's website “Barrier-free Studying”.

If available, you can also voluntarily send us documents from your school days or from other universities/studies in which adaptations or aids are already described for you. These can help us to process your application for different examination methods.

Allow sufficient time for the processing of the application and the preparation of the deviating methods by the teachers / examiners. Therefore, please always submit your applications as early as possible!

Please note: Different administrative regulations may apply for courses / examinations of other directorates of studies (further studies, EC, teaching subject, etc.). Please inform yourself on the respective website!
