Commitment

An internal unit and a mission dedicated to people with disabilities

Aix Marseille Université is committed to inclusion through its Mission Handicap unit, dedicated to supporting students and staff with disabilities.

Aix Marseille University: A Disability Unit for Students and Staff.

This service aims to guarantee equal opportunities and full integration within the university. For students, the Mission Handicap unit offers a full range of services: reception and orientation, assessment of specific needs, educational accommodations, technical aids and psychological support. Each student benefits from personalized follow-up to ensure that living and studying conditions are optimal. University staff with disabilities also benefit from tailor-made support. The unit assesses their needs, arranges workstation and material adaptations, and offers psychological support. This approach aims to facilitate their integration and ensure their continued employment. The Mission Handicap unit works closely with teaching staff, administrative departments and various external partners to create an accessible and caring university environment. It also organizes awareness-raising campaigns and training courses to promote an inclusive culture and combat prejudices linked to disability.
