Disabled Students' Allowance

It helps to cover additional study costs that result from disabilities (both physical and learning) as well as mental health issues and long-term illnesses. The exact support given depends on the needs of the student. Examples include partial or complete funding for a sign language interpreter, extra printing, or a new personal computer.

Students on both undergraduate and postgraduate courses may apply for DSA. The student must prove eligibility by submitting a document as evidence of their disability. For medical conditions, this evidence may be a letter or report from a doctor or consultant. For learning disabilities, a report from a practitioner psychologist or a specialist teacher is used instead.
