What we can do for you

You are disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental health condition that has a 'substantial' and 'long-term' negative effect on your ability to carry out normal daily activities, including studying. 

This includes:

• long-term mental or physical health conditions
• specific learning difficulties
• autism spectrum conditions.

If you think you may face barriers to your learning during your time at university because of a disability, we can give you the support and guidance needed to help you to have a good university experience.

The support we offer includes:

• creating a Reasonable Adjustment Plan (RAP) to inform your School of your requirements.
• working with Colleges to maintain up-to-date .
• arranging exam adjustments, for example, extra time or rest breaks, depending upon your individual needs.
• supporting you in accessing non-medical helper support such as a specialist mentor or study skills tutor.
• supporting applications for the  (DSA) and in setting up DSA funded support.
• providing advice and guidance on screenings for students who think they might have dyslexia, dyspraxia, or dyscalculia.
• arranging library, parking, and housing accommodations.
