Our Accessible Learning approach
The Accessible Learning approach aims to anticipate student needs and to create programmes that are 'accessible by design' to all students. The issues of accessibility inform the work of the School in all its aspects: in approaches to teaching students, in the teaching content of a range of courses, and in academic research.
