KUL CAN Centre for Inclusion of Students with Special Needs
With us you don't have to be a student with a disability!
The university Centre for Inclusion of Students with Special Needs was established on November 22nd 2016. The centre continues the work of the office of the Rector's Deputy for Students with Special Needs started in 1992.
