Disability Office
The Disability Office encourages enquiries from disabled applicants and students, including those with specific mental health problems, long-term illnesses, temporary impairments and learning difficulties (such as dyslexia).
Please contact the Disability Office well in advance of the commencement of your studies.
Services provided include:
- Individual advice and support for students
- Individual Learning Profiles with recommendations for reasonable adjustments
- Liaison with academic departments, registry, estates and buildings etc
- Ensuring compliance with Disability Legislation
- Input into relevant university committees and policy development
There is also a limited Disabled Students' Support Fund for those who do not qualify for Disabled Students' Allowance.
"Disability support isn't as readily offered as at college. It will be your responsibility to enquire into the level and nature of assistance you are entitled to. I would recommend contacting the Disability Office as early as possible." Sarah Killey, Social Work Student
