Qualified agree with Nicole's answer ...

If you take a look at

www.fhr.ac.at/fhrinfo/fhr_info_17/ fhr_info_17_5.abschnitt.pdf

you'll see a passage that is identical to that in the question. The above website suggests that requirements are divided into "Personalbedarf", "Sachbedarf" and "Raumbedarf".

IOW "Sachbedarf/Sachausstattung" appears to cover things like blackboards, beamers, computers, and possibly even desks, fittings and fixtures.

To my ears, "study materials and equipment" sounds like the materials the students themselves need (books, writing utensils and so on), whereas "Sachbedarf" covers a lot more.

special requirements / material requirements

The items or facilities required by a particular "Sache" => speciality.
I read "Sachbedarf" as being almost synonymous with "Fachbedarf", although the latter tends more towards a discipline, and the latter to an item within a discipline.

just to clarify:
Sachbedarf = study materials, Sachausstattung = (study) equipment
