Disabled students

We are committed to providing equality of opportunity through the best possible level of support to disabled students, staff and visitors. Our Disability Support Team offers advice for current students and support for applicants during the admissions process. 

Please contact the Admissions Officer of the School in which you are interested or the Disability Support Office in order to discuss any specific needs. A member of staff will be pleased to meet you, by prior arrangement, should you choose to visit.

• Information for disabled applicants

Once you have decided to study at Manchester, if you are planning to live in Halls then you should also inform the Accommodation Office if you require any specific facilities, eg wheelchair-adapted accommodation/flashing alarms etc. Current facilities include:

• Rooms in halls which have been adapted to meet the needs of students with impaired mobility
• Extensive IT and other support facilities
• Specialist software for blind, visually impaired and dyslexic students
• Provision for study skills and other support for students with specific learning difficulties

Access Summit Consortium

The University of Manchester is a partner in the Access Summit Consortium. As such we facilitate support and advice including assessments of needs, assisted technology provision, and training and advice on accessible curricula. The Consortium operates a register of personal support workers.
