Information for prospective disabled students
We offer a wide range of information, advice and support to disabled students. We recommend that students contact us as soon as possible so we can begin to set up your support. There are a number of opportunities for you to meet with us and start setting up support before you start your course. A visit to the University can be arranged for you to get a feel for the facilities and accommodation. You can also discuss your needs with a Student Adviser. If you are attending for an academic interview or an open day, it may be possible to meet with a Student Adviser. Please contact us to make an appointment. You may be eligible for Disabled Students' Allowance to pay for your support needs and we will be happy to assist you with this application. Whilst we respect your independence, we also recognise that embarking on a degree course involves many different challenges. For this reason, we will work with you to identify and arrange appropriate support. Once you have made contact with our service our Disability Advisers will remain available for on-going support throughout your time at University. To help new disabled students settle into university life we hold an annual event called Get Ahead. You can find out more about Get Ahead here.
