Disabled Students
We recognise that the term 'disability' can describe a wide range of physical and sensory impairments including enduring health conditions, specific learning differences and mental health issues. We aim to ensure that all students feel equally valued and are able to participate in our university community and we therefore provide many activities that promote inclusivity.
