If you have a disability, long-term illness or health condition, learning difficulty or developmental disorder, there are things we can do to support you. This can range from exam arrangements to providing equipment.

There's a lot of information you can share with us that'll help us understand your needs. We'll then put tailored reasonable adjustments in place for you. This information includes:

  • diagnostic reports from professionals such as an educational psychologist or psychiatrist
  • a Study Needs Assessment Report, produced in connection with Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA)
  • a letter from your GP, hospital consultant or psychologist, or another medical or mental health professional
  • an education health and care (EHC) plan
  • a Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

You can submit information about your disability to our Disability Service by:
