Information for International students

The following types of support are indicative of the services we may be able to provide, generally at minimal or no cost:

Ability to tape-record lectures and seminars.
Loan of equipment, eg, recording equipment, computer (where available).
Where possible, course handouts emailed in advance.
Use of computer, reader or scribe in exams and exam papers in alternative formats.
Extended library loans.
Book fetching service within Libraries.
Access to Study Support Room with computers, scanner and assistive technology software.
Some assistive technologies available on the university’s intranet.
Support from the Disability Office.

We can also allocate you a room in our Halls of Residence with an en-suite bathroom and/or internet connection, subject to the usual fees. A number of rooms have been adapted for disabled students within some residences.

Other forms of support may be costly, scarcer to resource, harder to set up, or dependent on funding. The University has a small fund to pay for additional disability support costs for those students who are not eligible for the UK Disabled Students' Allowances. Students will need to provide supporting evidence of disability and will be required to undergo a study needs assessment, which may involve their School/Department. Students are advised to apply for this fund from the Disability Service at the earliest possible opportunity. For further information, contact the Disability Service.

Students who are taking part in SOCRATES-Erasmus exchange programmes may be eligible to receive SOCRATES-Erasmus student mobility funding through their home institutions. For more information contact your home institution, the International Office or the British Council.
