Description

The University has a requirement to provide support services to our students who have been assessed to need assistance whilst at university to enable them to reach their potential.

The Disability Advice team, part of the Student Advice and Guidance team within the Division for Student Experience at the University of Sussex, provide disabled students with personalised study support to enable them to reach their potential at university. Working as part of a wider network, we offer timely, accurate and confidential information, advice, guidance and resources to remove barriers to learning.
