Navigating disability, neurodiversity and mental health

Our 'Students with Additional Requirements' pages are here to help you find clear, accessible information about living at university. These resources may be useful to our students with accommodation requirements related to medical or mental health conditions, disabilities, or being neurodivergent. 

Everything in this guide has been included based on feedback from current student who have lived in our accommodation, as well as common questions asked to our Allocations Team and the Disability Service.

This page will give you a quick overview of what resources are included and point you to other useful parts of our website. To find out more about applying for accommodation with Additional Requirements, please view our detailed information on the application process.
