At UCWISE, our goal is to provide an open and supportive environment where students can discuss any concerns and can take meaningful steps to address them in confidence. Our Total Support Guarantee programme ensures that no student is left behind.
Our Student Support Services Team offer tailored support to inform, assist and empower each and every student at UCWISE. We encourage you to tell us if you have a disability or require support on your UCAS application, so that we can support you, right through from your application through to your graduation.
Student support at UCWISE is embedded throughout our culture and you will find our small class sizes enable us to get to know you as an individual. We want you to feel well supported throughout your studies.
We want everyone to achieve their full potential, and we will do our best to provide whatever support you need. It’s no wonder we scored 85% for overall student satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2021!
The Disability Support Team are committed to supporting you if you have a disability, a long-term health condition, mental health condition or a learning difficulty. If you disclose a disability or health condition, you could be entitled to additional support whilst you are studying with us.
We offer tailored support for students who disclose a disability. We will work with you to create a support plan for how we can support you whilst you study with us. This may include:
We will share this plan with you and with relevant staff so that support can be arranged for you.
You can disclose your disability at any point during your studies. We strongly recommend that you disclose your needs on your application, so that we can put support in place for the start of your course.
If you declare a disability, health condition or learning difficulty on your application form, we will contact you to arrange a meeting with one of our specialist advisers. If you have not disclosed it on your application, you can email the support team to tell us at any point during your studies, and to request a meeting or call with the one of our specialist advisers.
To enable us to put the support in place for you, you will need to provide evidence of your condition. This can be a doctor’s note, a report or an EHCP. (Even though an EHCP will lapse when you start, there is plenty of specialist support available at UCWISE.)
Please get in touch with us so that we can make sure that you access all of the support you are entitled to on your course of study.
If you think you may have dyslexia or another Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD), such as dyspraxia, dyscalculia or autism, but have never had a formal assessment, please contact our support team for advice.
The Wellbeing Team offer confidential advice, information and guidance to support your wellbeing. We can help with strategies to manage stress and anxiety; mediation and advocacy in resolving conflicts; and signposting to other services.
