Disability and Wellbeing
Starting university can be a daunting experience for anybody, and if you have additional learning needs you will want to make sure that you will have access to the right support for you.
We aim to create an inclusive learning environment that makes teaching and learning accessible for all. However, we understand that one size does not always fit all, and therefore have a team of staff who are dedicated to ensuring that bespoke support arrangements are in place where needed.
Disability Advisers are available at each campus and can help with:
- Early orientation to the University and campus
- Advice and support in applying for Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs)
- Implementation of individual reasonable adjustments and non-medical help (e.g. note-taking and study assistance)
- Diagnostic assessment for Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs), such Dyslexia or Dyspraxia
- Accessing one-to-one study skills tuition
- Advice on equipment and software available on campus
- Arrangement of examination concessions
- Liaison with academic and other University staff and external agencies
- Arrangement of other specialist support
- Arrangement of a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP)
