Is there support within college with students with special needs?
A member of the department is a special needs co-ordinator and is able to meet with students to discuss requirements and offer advice. For example students with dyslexia may be advised how to be assessed, where to find technological support, and what sorts of extra support is available. In addition there are workshops within the college on essay preparation and some tutorials are offered for students whose first language is not English. QM has a student counsellor who can be contacted through Student Services. QM subscribes to an equal opportunities policy. There is an access hardship fund within the college to which students experiencing financial difficulties may apply. Application forms are available through the Student Union Advice and Office.
