According to the data of the Office for Disabled Students of the University of Zagreb and the Office of the Ombudsperson for Disabled Persons, it is estimated that the number of students with disabilities in the total student population (75,000 students) does not exceed 5 pupils (380 students). At the national level, there are no reliable data on the total number of people with disabilities involved in higher education, but it can be assumed that they are equally low. The idea behind this paper is therefore to consider the different aspects of inclusion of disadvantaged students in the higher education system and try to answer a number of issues that are necessarily derived from all of the above, for example, to what extent and even can students with disabilities achieve their right to Higher education, and the right to use a range of adjustments and resources that are intended for them? Furthermore, are real rights at all in line with their real needs and what measures have been taken so far to enable them to fully integrate or provide 'student life' under equal conditions. Inclusion of persons with disabilities in the Higher Education system also depends on a number of 'technical' aspects: accessible transportation, affordable university buildings, availability of educational resources, equipment and programs and, where appropriate, availability of appropriate technical support to students with disabilities. All of this is primarily related to the experience of studying, but in some cases it may also determine the choice of the study itself, and consequently the future interest of the student.
