Supporting disabled students (including those with long-term illnesses and learning differences)
Students with physical or mental health conditions or learning disabilities and differences will find a variety of support available in higher education. However, advance research and preparation can make all the difference - we've worked with experts, such as the National Association of Disability Practitioners (NADP) to outline some of the ways in which you can help your students make a successful transition.

We support international counsellors, agents and advisers, as well as processing applications to hundreds of universities and colleges in the UK.
Supporting students with EAL: Careers ideas and activities
Students with English as an Additional Language (EAL) can face obstacles centred around communication and cultural differences. Find practical tips and activities to help engage them with their future.
Supporting students with mental health conditions
Students can access a variety of support to manage their mental health and wellbeing in higher education - ranging from help with a specific condition through to ways they can look after their general wellbeing. Some students may be hesitant to tell their university, so we've worked with experts (including Student Minds and the University Mental Health Advisers' Network (UMHAN)) to explain the process of declaration to your students, and offer practical ways to help them manage the transition to independence. It's good to remember that other personal circumstances can create additional challenges and stress, so making sure students have the right support for their needs will offer them the best start to university.
