InternationalAssisted by faculty representatives and a vast network of collaborators and volunteers, the Office of Disabled Student Services works towards removing the cultural, physical and psychological barriers that can prevent disabled students from participating fully in university life.
The office aims to integrate all students with disabilities and improve local awareness of disability. It also involves disabled students in voluntary activities and tutoring for other disabled students.

We uphold the concept of “Design for all” which is a new way of looking at accessibility and a new way of designing the world we live in. We provide consulting and designing services in the fields of communication, tourism and art to create tourist and museum routes and exhibitions accessible to all sorts of visitors as "Vietato non toccare" and "Non solo pane".
