Working with disabilities or chronic illnesses

TUM actively encourages the employment of severely disabled persons and supports them in their working life. The university has committed to this goal in its integration agreement “TUMiteinander” in the sense of the SGB IX and the “Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz” (AGG). Various services at TUM and outside of TUM offer counselling and support with issues and problems concerning working with a disability or chronic illness.

There are guidelines for TUM staff on hiring and employing people with disabilities or chronic illnesses. For this, please switch to the german version of this website.

When receiving relevant applications, responsible staff must involve the Disabled Persons Office early in the process. Also applicants can contact the office for advice.
