Disability Support
Welcome to Disability Support at Durham! We’re here to help with your study support requirements if you have a disability. Whether you're thinking about applying to Durham, are already an applicant or a current student, our team can help.
Important Notice for Applicants:
From 6pm on Monday 28th July until 8am on Thursday 14th August, Durham University will be under a results embargo period. As a service, we are unable to answer any specific questions regarding undergraduate applications until after the results embargo lifts at 8am on Thursday 14th August.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience. We will respond as quickly as we can to any enquiries received, from 8am Thursday 14th August onwards.
Please note: if you are a current student, or a postgraduate applicant unaffected by the SQA / JCQ results embargo period, please feel free to email disability-support@durham.ac.uk and we will respond to your enquiry as soon as possible.
About us
Disabled students make up over 25% of the student population at Durham. We work with partners across the University to make sure our environments, policies and practices are inclusive. Our mission is to support disabled students to engage fully with their learning experience and achieve academic success.
Disability can mean different things to different people. It may include you if you have a physical or sensory condition, a long-term medical condition (including medically recognised mental health difficulties such as depression or anxiety disorder), or a neurodiverse condition, such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD or Autism.
