I need extra learning support - what help is available?

Modified on Fri, 2 Aug at 12:33 PM

We can help you if you have specific learning difficulties, such as dyslexia, autism and Asperger’s. We’ll work with you to find out the best way to support your learning. This might include:


  • 1:1 study support
  • Specially adapted materials (e.g. often printing on yellow paper works for learners with Dyslexia)
  • Specialist tuition support, e.g. language skills or numeracy skills
  • Providing a specific point of contact to seek guidance
  • Assistance with planning and managing your studies
  • Providing access to a reader, scribe, extra time with actual examinations
  • Providing a lesson plan, notes or handouts to the learner prior to the session to look over.


We can also provide extra learning support if you have other medical conditions, including any mental health issues. These may be short term adjustments, or more permanent. Just let us know what you need. We can help by:


  • Providing access to session notes and live online recordings when sessions are missed
  • Allowing you to record a lecture
  • 1:1 tutor support
  • Work with you to adjust your programme if you need more time, or a gentler pace of study.
  • Access to a fridge for any medication
  • Providing additional time in exams and with supervised rest breaks.
