Our Students - Disability

The University of Oxford and its departments and colleges proactively support our students with disabilities. We want all students to feel welcome, comfortable, and confident wherever they are studying and living.

Find the main links to the support available below and read on to learn more about each individually:

University Disability Advisory Service

There are various resources available to our students, including the University Disability Advisory Service which is available to discuss support and access requirements. You can find out more about the Disability Advisory Service by visiting their website.

For more information on disability support, the available resources, and examples of student support plans, visit the University Disability website.

Reasonable adjustments

Reasonable adjustments are available for those eligible to enable you to undertake your course. To be eligible, you must have (or develop during your studies), a long-term condition which has an impact on your day-to-day activities.

The legal definition of disability is broad, but if you are unsure and would like some advice, you can contact the University Disability Advisory Service by email: disability@admin.ox.ac.uk by phone: 01865 280459 or by attending a drop-in session to talk to a disability advisor:

Department disability contact

Each department and college has a designated disability contact. For the Department of Computer Science the disability contact is Rachel Breward. Students who have any questions or issues related to student disability are welcome to contact Rachel. If the issues relate to another department or a college, the relevant disability contacts can be found here.

Prospective applicants

Prospective applicants who have questions about disability provision for students on course can also contact Rachel, or the Disability Advisory Service. Students are also encouraged to contact the colleges they are applying to discuss disability provision.

The University also share guidance for disabled applicants.

There is also a detailed document that outlines the student disability support at Oxford, which includes a map showing what your journey as a disabled student could look like, from application stages to the final exams and assessments.

Access guide

The University provides an access guide which is an online guide to the accessibility of the University's buildings, departments, gardens, galleries and museums. On their website you can find the Department of Computer Science access guide.

Video tours

The video tour series of the department is designed to make the buildings more accessible by helping visitors plan routes around and between the department buildings. Routes covered include finding the Library, Reception and Lecture theatres.
