Applicants with disabilities or dyslexia
We welcome disabled students. We are committed to responding effectively and appropriately to individual support needs. We take all practicable steps to ensure that students with disabilities can participate in their studies without disadvantage, and can make full use of the University's academic and support services.
Specific information for students with a disability or dyslexia is available by:
- Requesting the leaflet 'Information for Disabled and Dyslexic Students' by emailing us at: disability.info@sheffield.ac.uk
- Viewing our Disability and Dyslexia Support Service website for details of additional support and facilities: Disability and Dyslexia Support Service website
- If you can't attend one of our undergraduate Open Days you may wish to arrange an individual visit. You can do this by telephoning us at: +44 (0)114 222 1241
If you have a disability, your application is assessed following standard procedures. Admissions Tutors look primarily at academic suitability. Your additional support requirements are dealt with separately.
If you are academically suitable and receive an offer, we will contact you to conduct an assessment of your needs to ensure that we can provide you with the appropriate support. Applicants with mobility difficulties should be aware that access to some departments and services is restricted but, wherever possible, we will make reasonable adaptations.
