To help students and doctoral candidates with disabilities or chronic illnesses participate equally and independently in their study program, doctoral research, and campus life, TUM and its institutions are constantly working to expand target-group-specific support offerings and to improve accessibility.</strong></p> </div> <div id="c13016" class="frame frame-type-textmedia frame-layout-0"> <a id="c13017" class="d-inline"></a> <h2> Doing a doctorate with a disability or chronic illness </h2> <p>The conditions for a doctorate at TUM are continuously reviewed and adapted to ensure that they are compatible with the realities for doctoral candidates with disabilities. In this context, the last revision of our TUM doctoral regulations included the possibility of compensation for disadvantages in §20 of the doctoral regulations. TUM doctoral candidates who are unable to take all or part of their oral examination in the intended form due to a chronic illness or permanent physical impairment now have the opportunity to adapt the format/design of the examination to their needs.</p> <p>There are no time limits for a doctorate at TUM. You can, therefore, discuss your weekly working hours and the progress of your doctorate directly with your doctoral supervisor and organize them according to your needs.</p> <p>Do you have School-specific questions regarding accessibility and inclusion?
