Support for disabled students

Transportation Service

The aim of this service is to ease access to public services and education. The service uses a special minibus equipped for persons with special needs. An electric lifting machine and special fixing equipment make transport possible especially for people using a wheelchair. (Of course we are ready to transport students with other disabilities as well.)

The service minibus is available when:

  • approaching the University

  • going home
  • or during other transportation tasks
