Telling us about your disability

Find out about your declaration to the University, including confidentiality and advice for parents.

Confidentiality, disclosure and data protection

The University takes issues relating to confidentiality, disclosure and data protection seriously. We respect your confidentiality and assure you that any information we share will be handled in a sensitive and discreet manner.

Declaring to the University

Information about disability is not used when considering academic eligibility for the chosen programme of study.  Applicants are invited to indicate their disability status on their application form and we strongly encourage applicants to declare any disability.
