West University of Timișoara (UVT) offers for candidates with special educational needs or disabilities at least ten seats financed from the state budget, for which they have the opportunity to apply separately.

Candidates with special educational needs or disabilities can apply both for places financed from the state budget allocated especially for this category of candidates, and for places financed from the state budget addressed to all Romanian or European Union citizens, or on places with Toll.

Through the online application form, each candidate with special educational needs or disabilities will be able to choose to apply for a special place allocated to these categories of people, by ticking this in the section with Personal data and uploading on the platform and subsequently presenting at the collection points of the documents organized by UVT, supporting documents in this regard.

The advantage of obtaining a place financed from the special state budget for candidates with special educational needs or disabilities is that a student admitted to such a place enjoys the status of tuition free of charge for the entire normal duration of university studies corresponding to the study program in which he is enrolled, without entering the reclassification process on seats financed from the state budget / with fee, provided that the annual conditions for the promotion of the academic year established by the UVT regulations are met.

Candidates with special educational needs or disabilities must tick the registration form if they wish to apply for special places for them, but will also select other options and types of places for the situation in which they will not be admitted to special places dedicated to them.

Candidates with special educational needs or disabilities will be able to benefit from a special place dedicated to them only if they pass the entrance exam related to the study program they have enrolled in. 

For candidates with disabilities, based on the supporting documents, the entrance exams can be adapted according to the type and severity of the disability. These include alternative ways of scrolling through the text (large print, Braille, reader, screen reader), extra time to complete tasks, etc.

For candidates with specific learning and sensory impairments, based on the certificate of diagnosis issued by the competent bodies, upon request, the adaptation of the examination procedures in the admission process shall be done by:

1. 1. ensuring an additional time compared to the time initially allocated for the elaboration of the work;
   2. in the case of candidates with dyslexia, the reading of the subjects is ensured by a member of the admission commission at the faculty level; the topics are read one by one, in the order in which the paper is elaborated;
   3. in the case of candidates with dysgraphia, the candidate has the right to an oral evaluation or will dictate the content of the paper to a member of the admission committee at the faculty level;
   4. in the case of candidates with dyscalculia, the use of a pocket / desk computer, Pythagorean board or formula tables is ensured.

If there are more candidates with special educational needs or disabilities in places specifically designated for them than the number of such places available at the UVT level, for the undergraduate studies, the selection of these candidates will be made, first of all, after the average obtained at the baccalaureate exam, and then, in case of equal averages, after the marks obtained at the tests from the baccalaureate exam, in order (Romanian language and literature, compulsory profile test, profile choice and specialization test). In the cycle of master's university studies, in the same situation, the distinction will be made after the average of the final exam of the bachelor's university studies, and then, in case of equal averages, after the average of the years of bachelor's university studies.

Candidates with special educational needs or disabilities can enroll in the admission process at the West University of Timișoara in places specially designated for them until July 10, 2023 for the cycle of undergraduate studies, respectively July 14, 2023 for the master's degree cycle. If after this date not all the places dedicated to this category of candidates will be occupied, the registrations will be extended until their occupation, but not later than the date of July 21 2023 for the cycle of undergraduate studies, respectively July 20, 2023 for the master's degree cycle (for the first admission session).
