Disability Services student panel
Our panel is formed of disabled students from across the University working together to improve the way that Disability Services engages with its students and applicants.
We're looking for new members for 2025/26 and this is your chance to join us.
You'll have the opportunity to learn more about Disability Services' work behind the scenes. You will be able to take part in projects to give us feedback on what we do and join a community of disabled students wanting to do the same.
Whether you’ve just joined the University or are midway through your studies, we want to hear from you.
