Disability support

At DMU Global we try our best to ensure that our opportunities are as inclusive as possible, and we understand that everyone is different. Our aim is to help all students have a positive experience and this page provides information about what support is available for students with disabilities.

Disability Advice and Support team

We work closely with Disability Advice and Support (DAS) to offer advice and support to students.  If you would like to discuss disclosing your disability and what reasonable adjustments you may need on your DMU Global opportunity, please email disglo@dmu.ac.uk and an appointment can be arranged for you.

Watch the video below to learn about how DAS and DMU Global work together.

DAS have also created a Padlet with lots of information about the support they can offer for DMU Global experiences.
