Disability Advice Team

The Disability Advice Team helps people with disabilities transition to life at University, and supports them during their time as USW students.

If you're neurodivergent or have a physical, sensory, mental health or unseen disability, we will work with you to consider your individual needs, provide information, discuss 'reasonable adjustments', and help you to apply for the support you need.

New USW Students

Please get in touch as soon as possible, so that we can ensure that appropriate adjustments and support are in place from the start of your course.

Contact us before your course starts by emailing [email protected].

Complete the Disability Advice and Support Pathway (login required) when you have set up your USW IT account.
