Hardship Application

In cases of recognised hardship, applicants are admitted directly to the course of study without consideration of other selection criteria. 

An application für hardship in accordance with §24 HZVO must be justified and proven in detail. However, strict requirements are attached to this special application, which is submitted in addition to the actual admission application. Students with a disability or chronic illness may have a hardship application approved for special health reasons.

Special Application

Disadvantge compensation (grade/waiting period)

With the application for compensation for disadvantages, students with disabilities and chronic illnesses can cite circumstances that prevented them from either achieving a better grade point average when obtaining their higher education entrance qualification or acquiring their higher education entrance qualification earlier.

This can improve the grade point average or waiting time and increase the possibility of obtaining a place of study.

Special Application

While Studying

Compensation for disadvantages

The goal of compensation for disadvantages is to individually compensate for impairment-related disadvantages caused by disabilities or chronic illnesses, but not to provide an "easy exam" or preferential treatment.

The application for compensation for disadvantages can be submitted by students at the beginning of each semester. It always applies to the examination performances of the semester in which the application was submitted.

The application for compensation for disadvantages can be sent digitally to the Examination Office via the HFT Wiki form.

Individual study agreement

Through an individual, binding study agreement, your maximum study semester can be extended.

Important: The binding study agreement cannot be claimed retroactively. ►►► Take care of this as early as possible in the 1st semester.
