Staff will be happy to discuss individual support needs that relate directly to the specific demands and accessibility of the chosen course. Where appropriate, the College will seek specialist advice.

The visit also provides an opportunity to:

For university students, financial support is usually offered via the Disabled Students Allowance from Student Finance England. We are happy to provide prospective students with advice on how to make an application.
