Studying with a mental illness
(How) is that possible?

The website "Studying with a mental illness: (How) is that possible?" (only in German) is a project of HAW Hamburg and the Hamburg Open Online University (HOOU). With the help of those affected, the creators have put together a range of information for students, prospective students, lecturers and university employees on the subject of mental illness.

Their aim is to provide information about mental illness, to point out various support services in the university context (and beyond) and to contribute to the destigmatisation of mental illness.

Students and prospective students who would like to find out more about mental illness and the support services available during their studies will find overviews and information on the following topics:

During studies
