Information for Applicants with Special Needs

Background

The University of London International Programmes administers the distance learning operations of the University of London, making the University’s degrees and diplomas available world-wide to individuals who are unable to study in London. Currently there are more than 50,000 registered students, pursuing a wide range of qualifications at undergraduate and postgraduate level. The full list of undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications is printed in the University of London International Programmes prospectuses, and is given in detail on the University of London International Programmes website - Find a Course. A range of short courses and diplomas are also available.

The flexibility offered by the University of London International Programmes may be particularly suitable for people with disabilities who are considering their options in higher education. We welcome applications from prospective students with special needs, and will make every reasonable effort to make sure that their experience of studying with the University is rewarding.

The University has a panel that considers applications from students for special examination arrangements.

The aim of the panel is to ensure that a student with a disability is neither advantaged
nor disadvantaged when compared with other students. If you have a disability and
may need special examination arrangements (such as extra time or special aids), you
should complete the relevant section of the application form or write to the Special
Examinations Services Department at the address opposite enclosing medical or other supporting evidence:
