Information for students with disabilities
We welcome enquiries and applications from all students including students with dyslexia, chronic medical or mental health conditions, sensory impairments and mobility impairments.
We encourage you to disclose as early as possible any disability or condition to ensure that appropriate support is arranged. This could include physical access and evacuation, examination and study arrangements. Early disclosure is important. If you do not disclose at an early stage it may not be possible for us to make suitable provision.

In case of emergencies
If you may need help leaving the building in an emergency please take note of the Refuge alert system in operation. In event of a fire/emergency students with mobility difficulties should make their way to the closest stairwell.
On arrival at the stairwell students should press the button which will alert Gateway Security, students will be asked for their location and to wait for advice and instructions.
