Disabled Students

We recognise that the term 'disability' can describe a wide range of physical and sensory impairments including enduring health conditions, specific learning differences and mental health issues. We aim to ensure that all students feel equally valued and are able to participate in our university community and we therefore provide many activities that promote inclusivity.

The Disability Service

We also recognise that everyone has the right to access every opportunity available to them, regardless of any of physical or sensory impairments. The Disability Service is here to provide advice and guidance on a range of disability-related matters and help disabled students to be fully included within the academic and social community.

Visit the Disability Services website for more information on how you can access their services.
