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.

The adviser was really helpful and kind. I struggle with phone calls but it was a really pleasant experience
I could not wish for a better support that the adviser provided. They demonstrated empathy and compassion. Moreover, they offered practical solutions for each of my problems. I am truly grateful for the support I received
