Information for Prospective Students

University of the Arts London encourages applications from people with disabilities. The University is committed to providing equal opportunities for all students.

The University Disability Service can provide information and advice about disability issues before and during the application process.

If you will need support during the application process (e.g. at interview), or if you have a mobility difficulty or sensory impairment, we strongly recommend that you contact us at the earliest possible stage to discuss your needs.

On your application form you will be given the opportunity to declare a disability. It is important that you use this opportunity to make the university aware of your disability and support needs. This will ensure that you receive information and advice from us promptly.

Your application will be considered on the basis of academic merit. Any discussions about your disability support requirements will be kept separate from the admissions procedure.

If you disclose a disability and get an offer from us, we will ask you to complete an applicant support questionnaire, so that you can tell us what support you think you will need to access your studies and complete them successfully.

If you did not disclose a disability on your application but you have an offer and want to tell us about your needs, please do complete the questionnaire using the link above.

The information you pass on is confidential. We will only share it with other relevant members of staff if you give your consent.

For information on the services we provide please click here and download the document entitled Breaking the Barriers 2011-12.

For information about our confidentiality and disclosure policy you can download our Confidentiality Policy Statement.

If you have any queries about disclosure, please contact the Head of the Disability Service, Jenny Alsop on 020 7514 6264 or j.alsop@art.ac.uk.

We wish you all the best in your application and look forward to hearing from you.
