Study 2 – Survey of Support Measures for Students with Disabilities and/or Learning Disorders at European Universities (still open!)

• Slides of the preliminary results presented at the Results presentation event (October 2018)
• Characteristics of the sample analysed for the final report:

Thirty-one universities from seven countries have participated in the survey so far. Although the survey is still open, this is the sample used for further analyses. They fulfilled a detailed questionnaire about the services and measures supporting students with special needs.

As it can be seen in the following table, the most of participating universities are public (i.e., funded by governments). There are very small and big universities considering the number of students (from 481 to 87000), and the mean size is over 24000 students. On average, participating universities host 1,3% of student with disabilities. Finally, all except one have participated in an Erasmus+ programme in the last five years.
