While not a university, Bishop Grosseteste College does provide a range
of degree courses, up to MA level.
It has at least 10 dyslexic students, all of whom (to my knowledge) have
had their Assessments paid for out of the Access to Learning Fund.

Hello Stuart
we fund dyslexia diagnosis for our FE students as we are able to do so
through our LSC funding. For our HE students the expectation is that the
student will fund their EP report if our own free screening service
suggests that they are likely to be dyslexic. We do rely on the hardship
fund for some cases but not all.
hope this helps
