Applicants with Disabilities or Specific Learning Difficulties

NUCA welcomes applications from all groups in the community including those with disabilities or specific learning difficulties. You are advised to contact the appropriate Course Leader to discuss your situation before submitting a formal application. We encourage applicants to disclose information about a disability as early and as fully as possible. This allows us to put in place appropriate support.

Failure to disclose a disability, or to give full information, may lead to a delay in the provision of that support. The University College is housed in a range of buildings that date from the medieval period onwards. While students with a variety of disabilities and specific learning difficulties have successfully studied at the University College, the inaccessibility of some of our buildings may cause difficulties for wheelchair users, or those with mobility difficulties. Wherever possible we will make arrangements for you to visit the University College in order that you may assess the learning environment at first hand.

The University College is fully committed to continuing its policy of improving and extending access where practicable and to increasing awareness of the requirements of people with disabilities and special needs.
