Disability support for postgraduate research students

Disability Advisers provide specialist advice and guidance for all students with disabilities, including postgraduate research students.

Support and adjustments are tailored to your individual needs and research area.

Types of support available

We can help you access additional support, including:

  • Specialist software
  • Study skills support
  • Adjustments to vivas to help you demonstrate your knowledge and skills effectively

Not all disabilities are visible, and not everyone who experiences difficulties identifies as disabled.

You do not need a formal diagnosis before contacting us. If you would like to discuss the challenges you are experiencing and the support available, we can offer advice and guidance.

How to access support

To discuss your support needs, please complete the Study Related Support form.

A Disability Adviser will review your information and help you explore the support and adjustments available to you.
