Key Support & Services Available:

1. Disability Support Offices:
- Every UK university has a dedicated Disability or Accessibility Office. They provide confidential advice, needs assessments, and arrange support tailored to individual requirements.

2. Academic Adjustments:
- Adjustments may include extra time in exams, lecture recordings, alternative formats for study materials (e.g., Braille, large print, audio), note-taking assistance, and accessible accommodation arrangements.

3. Campus Accessibility:
- Most UK universities offer accessible buildings, transport within campus, and adapted accommodation options for students with mobility needs.

4. Specialist Equipment & Software:
