Support for your studies
The University of Nottingham provides a range of services to support your studies. Please
explore these pages to find out more about how we can help you.
The University of Nottingham is committed to equality of opportunity for all its students; it is
also mindful of its requirement to comply with legislation affecting access to Higher Education
specifically the Disability Discrimination Act and more recently the Equality Act 2010. The
University will arrange for assessment of the requirements of its disabled students and make
recommendation for suitable equipment and services. Liaison is undertaken with potential
funding sources for the equipment and services required. The University does not discriminate
according to whether a student has Disabled Students Allowance or not.
Academic Support
Academic Support provides general study support for all students, and specialist academic
support for students with dyslexia, dyspraxia and other Specific Learning Difficulties. For further

Disability Support
