DSA equipment refund

The DSA contribution refund is a university fund available to all English domiciled students who have applied for Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) and have to pay £200 to access their recommended specialist equipment.

It is a non-repayable payment of £200, which is a refund and is awarded to students who have a household income of below £25,000. In most cases household income will be established by Student Finance England. Postgraduate students will be assessed by the university and therefore evidence will be required.

Lectures

Where possible, lectures delivered using Microsoft Teams will be recorded.

There may be instances where this is not possible due to the style of the session, copyright issues or other reasons. When this is the case, students will be informed and be provided with alternative learning support materials e.g. annotated lecture slides.
