HIGHER EDUCATION ACCESSIBILITY GUIDE
The Higher Education Access Guide
(HEAG) web area is a unique guide to
disability support services in Higher
Education Institutions (HEIs) across
Europe.
HEAG provides different types of information
relevant for students with disabilities who
are considering Higher Education study
abroad possibilities. The intention is that this
information will help students with
disabilities and the professionals that
support them to make decisions about
possibilities for study programmes and
exchange activities.
Project experts from 28 countries have
collaborated to collect focused information,
which can be accessed:
- via country pages, offering country
specific
information
on
Higher
Education;
- via the HEAG database that allows
users to search specialist services and
accessibility support for students in
higher education in each of the
countries.
Information on Higher Education in the
participating countries is available for:
Austria, Belgium (covering the Flemish
and French speaking communities),
Croatia,
Cyprus,
Czech
Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg,
Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland,
Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, UK (covering
England, Northern Ireland, Scotland
and Wales).
From these country pages you can access
information regarding support for students
with disabilities, the national approach to
higher education and disability, as well as
contact information of key people – including
the HEAG project experts – in the country
you have selected.
In addition you can search for specific
institutions and the availability of specific
disability support services in the language(s)
of the country you have selected as well as
in English using the direct links to the
searchable database.
All information is available in English and the
language of the respective country the
information refers to.
The information in the database will be
updated every two years.
