Students with additional support needs

The University of Manchester welcomes students with additional support needs arising from a specific learning difficulty, such as dyslexia, an unseen medical condition, or a disability or impairment.  The University has a central Disability Advisory and Support Service (DASS).

In order to access the full support that the University can offer, you should contact the DASS to discuss your support requirements.

If you are a student who has, or suspects they have, support needs and have not yet informed the DASS, then please contact them in the first instance. In addition to this, the School of Biological Sciences has a Disability Coordinator who liaises with the DASS to organise your support in the School.  The SBS Disability Coordinator can be contacted by email: (disabilitycoordinatorFLS@manchester.ac.uk).
