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.

For disabled students and those with special educational needs, there may be additional factors to take into account as they plan their future career pathways.

More than one in four students who apply through UCAS each year share a disability. Disabled students are entitled to reasonable adjustments to ensure they can access higher education, and they will find a variety of support available.

This briefing is for staff working in universities and colleges. Here, we outline common challenges for students who participated in widening participation (WP) and outreach activities, and share examples of good practice being done around the UK to improve access to and success in higher education.

Students can access a variety of support to manage their mental health and wellbeing in higher education – ranging from help with a specific condition through to ways they can look after their general wellbeing.

How we support widening access and participation through our products and services.
