Disabled international students
Universities and colleges in the UK are diverse and inclusive environments and welcome disabled students.
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: 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: 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.
