Our Disability and Inclusion Team provides support to students with disabilities.
Disability and Inclusion Support
As a student at ARU London, you can access specialist support through our Disability and Inclusion Team. We offer information, advice and practical guidance throughout your academic journey.
We can support you if you have:
· a disability
· neurodivergence
· dyslexia
· a long-term medical or mental health condition.
In accordance with our duties under the Equality Act (2010), we are dedicated to providing reasonable adjustments for your lectures and examinations, designed to remove or minimise barriers to learning.
Our goal is to foster an inclusive environment and empower you to fully participate in all aspects of university life.
The reasonable adjustments will be based on your individual needs.

Disabled Students‘ Allowance (DSA)
DSA is support provided by Student Finance England to help cover study-related costs you incur because of a disability.
DSA can be used to cover the costs of:
· specialist equipment,
· non-medical helpers such as a study skills mentor, BSL interpreter,
· printing, and
· travelling.
DSA will not be paid into your account; it will be paid directly to the suppliers.
The DSA grant doesn’t need to be paid back.
