Students with disabilities
Print version
If you have a disability or dyslexia and you are thinking of studying at King’s, the College will aim to support you in a number of ways. London has a huge amount to offer any student and accessible social venues, theatres and cinemas are more widely available than ever.The College’s estate is a mixture of old and new buildings, so if you feel physical access may be an issue, it’s a good idea to arrange an information visit. This is a useful way of finding out about any needs you may have in relation to your chosen programme. This can be arranged before you apply, by contacting the Equality & Diversity Department or the Disability Adviser in the relevant School. The visit is separate to any academic interview you may be offered; however any disability-related visit can be made on the day of your interview if this is easier for you.
If you choose King’s and want to make a formal application, your academic merit, potential and abilities will be considered first and foremost. You will be asked on the application form about a disability and it is helpful to let us know at this stage, so that we can aim to support you in the best way possible. Students on some programmes with 'fitness to practice' criteria, for example medicine, will also be required to complete a health questionnaire.

Disability Support
The Disability Support Team based within the Equality & Diversity Department, along with the School Disability Advisers based in individual Schools, can offer advice, information and support in relation to a health condition, disability or dyslexia both before and after you arrive at King’s.
We encourage prospective students to let us know as early as possible about any special requirements so that we can try to ensure that your programme and accommodation are accessible to you. This may include an information visit, which will allow you to familiarise yourself with our facilities and services.
We can also help with dyslexia support, needs assessments, funding information, and general advice on access, special arrangements and equipment available at King’s. Please consult the Disability Student Support Office for more information.
