The Disability Advice team coordinate additional support if you have a disability, long term health condition, mental health condition or a specific learning difficulty (SpLD). You might not feel that you have a disability, or you dislike the term, but the adjustments and support available may make a real difference in helping you to achieve your goals. Current students who access support have a wide range of disabilities and health conditions including epilepsy, diabetes, depression, anxiety, dyslexia, and Asperger's. If you feel you are entitled to reasonable adjustments or have accessibility needs, a Disability Adviser can meet with you to discuss your needs and to help you apply for funding.
We offer a range of support covering many areas, including:
- Extra time in exams
- Specialist equipment and software
- Assist dog sessions
- Specialist assistive technology training
- Library assistance
- Accessible accommodation
