The University welcomes disabled students and recognises the requirement for additional support and resources.
Our dedicated Disability & Dyslexia Service is fully staffed by experienced professionals who cater for a wide range of needs, offering support to students on an individual basis.
The Disability & Dyslexia Service provides advice and support for students who have mental health difficulties, dyslexia, sensory or physical impairments and other difficulties. There is a dedicated Assistant Disability Coordinator for students with sensory impairments. We can also offer advice on access technology such as voice recognition and text-to-speech software. Much of the support provided is funded through the Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA).
