Disability Service

The Disability Service supports disabled students to experience in full what the University has to offer.

We provide study support for students: 

• With mental health difficulties 
• With dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia 
• Who are autistic, have ADHD, or are neurodivergent 
• With long-term health conditions 
• Who are deaf/ hearing impaired, or blind/ visually impaired 
• Who have a mobility impairment, such as wheelchair users

This isn’t a full list—if you have an ongoing condition that affects your studies, we’ll support you or connect you with services that can help.

Support is available even if your condition fluctuates. You don’t need to be unwell all the time to access help.

You may identify as disabled – or may not feel this term applies to you. Either way, we are here to ensure you are supported. 

If you're not sure the Disability Service is right for you, contact us using the information at the bottom of this page. Or check the support available to all students.  

The Disability Service works closely with colleges, schools, academic departments, Advisers of Studies and Disability Coordinators to ensure disabled students receive the support that’s right for them. 

The Disability Service can arrange for changes (called reasonable adjustments) to how disabled students are taught and assessed. Examples include receiving learning materials in an alternative format (such as large print or electronically) or having extra time in exams. 

For some students, we can organise for you to have regular one-to-one support with a study skills tutor or mentor. Registering with the Disability Service means we can work with you to understand your needs and get you supported.
