OnbelemmerdStuderen.nl relaunched: All support in one place
From an information portal to a comprehensive support guide. The renewed website brings together information, support options, practical resources and experiences from fellow students, helping students find the support they need in one central place.
Studying does not come easily for everyone. A disability, chronic condition, mental health challenges, caring responsibilities or other personal circumstances can affect a student’s ability to study.
Many students wonder: Where do I need to be? How do I start the conversation? What support is possible? What can I do if I get stuck? OnbelemmerdStuderen.nl helps students find answers to these questions and guides them to the support that best fits their situation.
Support from study choice to employment
The website provides information in multiple languages and supports students at key moments throughout their educational journey. Students can find information and support related to choosing a study programme, attending classes, assessments and exams, internships, graduation and the transition to work. The website also offers information about legislation, student rights and available accommodations. This helps students better understand what support is available and which steps they can take.
Practical support in one place
A key feature of the website is the Support Guide, which helps students quickly find information tailored to their personal situation and support needs. Students can also access practical tools, tips and exercises to help them take action themselves. Topics include study planning, accessibility, guidance and counselling, financial support and communicating with their educational institution. In addition, the website links to organisations with expertise in specific support needs, making it easier for students to find the right information and assistance.
If students cannot find what they are looking for, Inci is there to help. This digital assistant answers questions, offers guidance and directs students to relevant information, contact persons, tools and support services. This enables students to find the information most relevant to their situation more quickly.
Learning form the experiences of other students
Sometimes it helps to hear how others have dealt with similar challenges. That is why OnbelemmerdStuderen.nl features videos, interviews, personal stories and tips from students sharing their experiences. The website also offers opportunities to connect with other students facing similar situations. This creates recognition, encourages the exchange of experiences and provides practical advice from peers.
Quickly find the right contact
Finding the right support within an educational institution is not always straightforward. On OnbelemmerdStuderen.nl, students can easily find the appropriate contact person or support service at their vocational education institution, university of applied sciences or university. This helps them know where to turn with questions or requests for support.
Also valuable for education professionals
OnbelemmerdStuderen.nl is intended for students. But study advisers, student counsellors, support coordinators and teachers can also use the website to help students find appropriate support. By actively referring students to the platform, professionals can help them gain quicker access to reliable information, practical tools and suitable support options. The website therefore serves as a valuable addition to the support already available within educational institutions.
