Disability, Health and Wellbeing

It’s important to get support in place before you arrive at University, so make sure you declare your disability during the application process so that we can help you.

We'll then get in touch to arrange support for you and tell your teaching department to make any reasonable adjustments.

We encourage you to apply for an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) and Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) before starting university.

How to apply for an ILP at Falmouth University

Support available

At the application stage, if you are applying for a course that interviews, you are able to request reasonable adjustments or support. You will be asked to share with us what you require when invited for interview.

If you have a long-term health condition, disability, or specific learning difference, we encourage you to apply for an Individual Learning Plan (ILP). This is a document that recommends simple adjustments to your academic experience to make sure you get the most from your time at Falmouth

You may also be entitled to Disabled Students Allowance (DSA). DSA is funding that students can get on top of their Student Finance. It can help pay for support that you might need at university as a direct result of a disability, health condition, autistic spectrum condition or specific learning difference (such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or ADHD).

DSA does not have to be paid back and it does not depend on your household income. You won't receive money directly; instead you will be provided with a package of support.
