Welcome!

This web site provides you with information about the learning support available to you while you're studying here at the University.

The Disability Support Team is accessible to all students who have a disability, a mental illlness or  mental health difficulties, and to those with Specific Learning Difficulties such as dyslexia.

From first year to final year, you may be able to access a range of support. It does not matter what year you are studying in but our advice is to get in touch as soon as possible -  if you are in your final year it is sometimes harder to access a full range of support.

Take a look at the links below for more information, or come to see us.

Best wishes,

The Disability Support Team
