Disabled student outreach

If you have a physical disability, a sensory disability, a mental health condition, a specific learning difficulty or a long-term health condition, we offer a variety of support both before and throughout your university study.

Our Disability Advisory and Support Service (DASS) is here to answer any questions you have about disability support while at university.

They can arrange a University support plan appointment to discuss your support needs on an individual basis so we highly recommend registering with them as soon as possible.

You can disclose details of a disability before you arrive at university by filling out a section on your UCAS application. This helps the team to arrange support for you as soon as you start, and they won't disclose any details of a disability without your consent.

Getting to know DASS

You can stream our ‘Getting to know DASS’ series on-demand which offers information, advice and guidance for disabled learners, their parents and guardians, and teachers and advisers.
