Welcome to Disability Services.

As a disabled prospective student you will need to be sure that the institutions you apply to are accessible and can meet any support needs you may have. These web pages are Birmingham City University's Disability Statement. They are designed to answer any questions you may have about the disability-related support we can offer you.

Our Policy Statement

Birmingham City University is committed to the fair and equitable treatment of disabled students. The University aims to provide an accessible environment and a range of support services to enable disabled students to participate fully in all activities of the University. We believe that a person is only disabled when confronted by negative attitudes and environmental factors. We are working towards creating a positive, supportive and inclusive learning environment across all the university's sites and faculties. We are doing this by making improvements to all sites and buildings, better provision of enabling equipment and intensive staff training in disability issues. Our policy and provision is evaluated, developed and enhanced to ensure that the needs of our current and future disabled students are met.

We have over 2500 disabled students enrolled with us. The majority of these disabled students have an "unseen disability".

While Birmingham City University will make every reasonable effort to provide the support and services described and to help you make best use of them, budgetary and other constraints on our resources make it impossible for us to guarantee that all services will be available to all students at all times without restriction.
