Although general study conditions are important for one’s academic achievement, accommodation services (e.g. student halls of residence, accommodation advice), recreational activities and inclusive sport courses outside the University context are just as important for most students at the University of Münster.
The Münster Studierendenwerk (Student Support Services) offers single rooms, apartments and shared flats for rent throughout the city which are primarily tailored to students’ needs. Students with disabilities may be eligible for preferential selection on rental properties if they can prove that they have an impairment-related need for a corresponding form of accommodation (e.g. wheelchair-accessible flat, equipment suitable for the blind).
You can find more information and contact details under the section “Accommodation Services for Disabled Students” on the Münster Studierendenwerk website.
There are a total of 430 single rooms and an additional 60 flats available in the five halls of residence operated by the Bischöfliches Studierendenwerk (Catholic Student Support Services of the Münster Diocese). These are located in downtown Münster. Some of the rooms and flats are wheelchair accessible.
For more information and application options, visit the website of the Bischöfliches Studierendenwerk Münster.
There are 57 rooms available for students in the 'Volkeningheim' ecumenical hall of residence, operated by the Protestant student community in Münster. Some of these are wheelchair accessible.
