Read our policies on lending and funding for US students in receipt of federal loans.
Disabled Students' Allowance
There is extra support available for students who have a disability, such as a long-term health condition, mental health condition or a specific learning disability such as dyslexia or ADHD. This support is known as Disabled Students Allowance, or DSA.
This kind of support depends on your individual needs and does not need to be paid back. You may be eligible for help with the costs of:
- specialist equipment, for example a computer if you need one because of your disability;
- non-medical helpers, for example a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter or specialist note taker;
- extra travel to attend your course or placement because of your disability;
- other disability-related study support, for example having to print additional copies of documents for proof-reading.
More information on Disabled Students' Allowance can be found here.
Residential Community and Accommodation
Our Cliff Year participants along with most of our full-time students live at Cliff College and form a key part of our residential community. The accommodation in the College is in en-suite single rooms; most students are catered for by our catering team and eat together in our dining room.
Almost all of our MA and PhD students, as well as some of our BA students, study part-time and live offsite.
