Applications from People with Disabilities
Our University has been recognized with the "Prädikat behindertenfreundlich" for its efforts to train and employ people with disabilities. We particularly welcome applications from qualified persons with a disability. This also applies to people with an equivalent status whose degree of impairment is between 30 and 50 percent. Please refer to Sozialgesetzbuch Neun (§2 (3) SGB IX) to find out which individuals this includes.
If you, as a person with a disability, have the right to reasonable accomodations for any disadvantages or particular conditions during the selection process (e.g. sign language interpreter, an individual test, longer test time), please provide us with the corresponding proof. Make arrangements for the alternative conditions before you take the test. If you are interested in a posted position, please submit the proof (e.g. the Feststellungsbescheid eines Versorgungsamtes) to the RWTH Representative for Staff With Disabilities as early as possible.
