Disabled students We welcome applications from disabled students. Disclosing a health condition, specific learning difficulty or disability does not affect the academic assessment of any application. It is helpful to know about the nature of any disability so we can address specific needs and ascertain whether facilities are available. Simply complete the relevant sections of the application form, contact the Disability Advisory Service or the relevant School Disability Adviser prior to applying to seek advice and ideally make an information visit. DisabledGo enables you to make a personal and realistic assessment of facilities and provision in relation to your disability, so you can decide whether the College provides you with a suitable study environment or whether you would need to request reasonable adjustments. Departments may be able to provide adjustments to seating, handouts and book lists in advance, extended book loans, rearranged timetables, extra time for examinations and consideration with coursework. For information about the accessibility of the King’s estate, please visit DisabledGo at www.disabledgo.com
An MA degree in history was one of the preferred qualifications for my position. During my interview, my executive director was thrilled to see the King’s MA qualification and asked me to start on the spot. I truly did not expect to land such a position, and less than a month after taking part in the King’s graduation ceremony in January, 2013.
