Students at DTU with physical or mental impairments can apply for special arrangements at written exams. This is conditional on the functional impairment having a significant impact on the student’s potential exam performance. Students who are pregnant and in their late-term or breastfeeding also have the opportunity to apply for special arrangements.
Special arrangements at oral exams
Some students need extra time for the oral examination to be on par with other students in the same exam situation.
