We encourage students to get in touch with us as soon as possible to discuss any support requirements.

We are happy to hold appointments with applicants and prospective students to discuss previous/current support and what we may be able to offer when you enrol with us.

If you don’t manage to contact us before you start, that’s ok, you can get in touch at any stage during your studies, although the earlier the better so we can get support in place as soon as possible.

Please note - some support can take longer to set up – for example our Examination Department require 4 weeks’ notice to put exam accommodations in place; and if you suspect you have a Specific Learning Difference, such as Dyslexia, it can take a few weeks to complete the process from initial screening to diagnostic assessment to receiving the written report.
