Accessibility
The University’s Accessibility Team provides confidential advice, support, and recommends reasonable adjustments to ensure students with a disability and/or medical conditions can fully participate in academic and campus life. This includes students facing barriers or challenges due to:
- a learning difficulty,
- neurodiversity,
- mental health condition,
- visual impairment,
- hearing impairment,
- long standing illness or health condition,
- physical/mobility difficulties.
The team works collaboratively with students and staff to create an inclusive and accessible learning environment.
How do I get support?
If you have a disability and/or medical conditions that may impact your studies, you can register with the Accessibility Service to discuss your support needs.
We will need medical evidence of your disability and/or medical condition. Please ask a medical professional to complete our medical evidence form. If you have been diagnosed with a learning difficulty, e.g. dyslexia, please submit your educational psychologist’s report.
You can register with the Accessibility Service at any point during your studies.
Once you are registered we will be in touch with next steps.
