Disabled Student Support

Disabled Student Support helps anyone who thinks they may need additional support with their studies due to any disability or long-term health condition including physical, mental health conditions or sensory impairments, neurodiversity and specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia. A formal diagnosis is not always needed. If you’re not sure if you have a disability, get in touch.
Our Disability Advisers can answer all types of disability enquiries and arrange support for your studies.
