Support for disabled and neurodivergent students

UCL is an inclusive learning environment, and we aim to enable all students to study as independently as possible during their time here. This section of our website provides information on the support available for students who are disabled or have a long-term health condition, this includes mental health and other neurodivergent conditions.
