Students can access a range of support to help them succeed with their studies, day-to-day activities, travel, and lifestyle.

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.
