Your views, your comments.

  • As I was already using this service as I was dyslexic I was so grateful for their support and kindness when I became physical disabled.

 

  • The people I spoke to were very understanding and took time to obtain the full picture, I couldn’t have succeeded without their help

 

  • More ‘drop-in’ times available.

 

Students with disabilities

The Disability Service can provide information and advice to students so that they are able to access their programme of study and participate in university life as equally and actively as possible.  Support covers many areas including:

  • Providing information and advice for disabled students and applicants
  • Help in applying for Disabled Students’ Allowance
  • Arrangements for alternative exam arrangements such as extra time or rest breaks
  • Help with notifying appropriate academic staff about student support requirements

We work in conjunction with academic and other support departments within the University as well as external organisations to provide support across a range of functions.
