We’re Changing!
But it’s all good news – we’re working on giving our service a full makeover!

We’re changing to a new name and want to connect with all students who may benefit from our support. And so, Disability Services will soon become Accessible Learning Support. The website will be even easier (we hope!) to find the information you are looking for. With better navigation and more understandable information, we hope the new website will be a valuable resource for you to have. YOU CAN NOW CONTACT US THROUGH OUR NEW EMAIL: accessiblelearning@qub.ac.uk For the moment, please know, our team are working hard behind the scenes to deliver an excellent website, so you can enjoy the best possible user experience. Look forward to what’s to come and... WATCH THIS SPACE!

ABOUT US

Queen’s University Belfast welcomes and encourages applications from students of all backgrounds

At Queen’s University Belfast, we are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment for everyone. We want all students to have equal access to everything our university has to offer.

We encourage students with disabilities, long-term conditions, or a working diagnosis to connect with our dedicated Accessible Learning Support Team. We’re here to explore possible supports and reasonable adjustments to help you succeed in your studies and university life.

Our commitment to supporting students with disabilities is set out in our Student Disability Policy.
Important Notice

For students who are already supported by Accessible Learning Support (formerly Disability Services) and already have an ISSA in place, your in-course supports will remain unchanged and will be reinstated for the new academic year. However, you need to let us know if you have changed course or pathway to ensure that your new School will receive a copy of your ISSA.

If there has been a significant change in your condition(s) or you have been diagnosed with a new condition, please contact Accessible Learning Support at accessiblelearning@qub.ac.uk to arrange a reassessment.

If you were previously supported by Disability Services as an undergraduate and are returning to complete a postgraduate course, you will need to contact the service to request a new support agreement by completing an online Pre-Registration Questionnaire. You will then be offered a reassessment.

Accessible Learning and Wellbeing Drop-in

The drop-in service for Accessible Learning and Wellbeing is available from Monday to Friday, 11am - 3pm on Level 1 at One Elmwood. We offer advice and guidance for any concerns you may have.
