Disability Services services

The Disability Services is able to organise a range of services for students at the University (please see the list of charges for services provided by Disability Services). Due to the demands of external providers, some charges may vary from those quoted. At the moment, Disability Services does not provide IT training for students.

Please send DSA Assessment Reports directly to Disability Services (see contact details for our address). Please do not send DSA Assessment Reports anywhere else in the University, as by doing so you may be breaching confidentiality.

Course details

The University's website includes general information about undergraduate courses and postgraduate courses. This information is not likely to be sufficient for most assessments. However, the majority of departments have a Disability Representative (DDR) who can give further guidance or direct you to other sources of information within the department. Please see the current list of DDRs and their contact details.
