Disabled students
Every year, over 100,000 disabled students (also known as students with special educational needs and disabilities, or SEND for short) apply through UCAS to study at a university or college in the UK – including mental health conditions, learning differences, and long-term health conditions. Students can access a range of support to help them succeed with their studies, day-to-day activities, travel, and lifestyle.
Disabled Students' Allowance: Wales
The Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) aims to ensure everyone has the support and adjustments they need to succeed during their studies. This information is relevant to students who normally live in Wales.
Disabled students: Financial support
Having a disability or mental health condition might mean incurring additional costs (e.g. access to specialist equipment) when accessing higher education. But don’t worry, there is financial support available.
Disabled students: Preparing for open days and visits
Open days are a valuable way of finding out about a university or college first-hand – you can tour the facilities, speak to staff and current students, and really get a feel for whether you would like to study there.
Disabled students: Researching your choices
Our best advice: start your research early. Alongside your research into courses and universities, you may also need to take your individual support needs into account when making your choices.
Discover Subjects
Connect with students as they find out more about their subject of interest and translate ideas into more concrete plans, at our Discover Subjects events.
Discovery Events Headline Sponsorship
