Students

If you have a disability, neurodiverse, mental or long-term health condition, or a specific learning difference that may impact your studies, get in touch with us at the Disability & Learning Support Service (DLSS) to discuss your support needs.

To help us provide you with the study support you require, we ask that you to provide suitable supporting documentation of your disability, neurodiverse or health condition, or specific learning difference.

The Service can help you to apply for non-means-assessed allowances intended to cover additional costs you may incur while studying and which are a direct result of your disability, neurodiverse or health condition, or specific learning difference.

We offer a range of support based on your individual needs and how your disability, learning difference, neurodiverse or health condition affects your studies.

We run a weekly online social and information group for student with a diagnosis of, or awaiting assessment for, Autism (AS). The group is open to anyone who meets the above criteria and is interested.

The University has many student services that support the health, wellbeing and support students with their studies.
