Supporting your learning

We’re here to make sure you have what you need to succeed. That includes recommending reasonable adjustments tailored to your learning needs.

Support in your School

We’ll work with your School to ensure your recommended adjustments are appropriate for your programme of study. These can include:

• lecture slides or handouts provided in advance
• course materials in alternative formats
• access to recorded lectures or permission to record them yourself
• presenting to smaller groups
• support for practical or lab sessions and field trips
• exam arrangements like extra time or rest breaks

Please note, all recommended reasonable adjustments are considered by academic staff and implemented when possible.

Library support

Every library has a disability contact who can help you find books, use the catalogue, or get materials delivered to your home. You’ll also find assistive technology and equipment, including:

• alternative keyboards and mice
• video magnifiers
• height-adjustable desks
• assistive technology on our networked computers

To access this support you can speak with staff in your School library.

Extended library loans

If extended loans are part of your adjustments, your borrowing time will automatically double for most items (except four-week loans). This applies when books are issued and renewed.
