Whether you’re an undergraduate, postgraduate, EU or international student, or are studying part-time, our advice is tailored on an individual basis to help you get the most effective support for you.
Many of the students we work with have an unseen medical or mental health condition, and often the students we support do not refer to themselves as disabled.
You’ll find it useful to read the information below, but if you’re unsure whether or not we can support you, please get in touch.
What do you mean by disability?
We use the term ‘disability’ as it’s used in Equality Law, where a disability is defined as any condition which has a significant, adverse and long-term effect on a person’s ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. We support students with a range of difficulties, for example:
- autism spectrum disorders or Asperger’s syndrome
- dyslexia, dyspraxia and other specific learning difficulties
- mental health difficulties
- mobility impairments
- sensory impairments
- unseen disabilities like epilepsy, HIV, AIDS and chronic fatigue.
