When you're applying

During the open day, an activity is carried out to determine the most suitable programme of study to meet each applicant’s individual needs and admissions staff will offer guidance based on its results.

It is helpful if applicants can make the admissions staff aware of any additional needs they have during the application process, so the tutors and staff can ensure that the most appropriate support is available from the start of the course.

After you start studying

Once enrolled, all learners have their learning style and individual needs assessed during their first week. Additional support, for example one-to-one sessions, can be offered where appropriate.

Other support might take the form of classroom activities tailored to meet learning style and ability, or special arrangements for examinations, such as to those learners with English as their second language or those with dyslexia.
