Background

The Faculty of Science is keen to support students with autism and make social interaction and bonding easier. We will provide a platform where you can meet each other, build a deeper connection and a social network. Within this community, you and your fellow students also support each other.

In addition, the Faculty of Science offers an inclusive social setting, focusing on, for example, the special qualities and traits often associated with autism (including honesty, openness, humour, creativity, empathy and sensitivity). The aim is to organise a social activity for and with Faculty of Science students with ASD 3 times a year, tailored to the needs of these students.
