Thanks.

The funding comes from the student's Department and College.

A summary of the pilot scheme and the mechanism is outlined on page 18 of the guide at http://www.ox.ac.uk/media/global/wwwoxacuk/localsites/studentgateway/documents/disabilityadvisoryservice/Accessing_Disability_Support_Graduate_Guide_2011.pdf

I hope that helps.

All the best,


Pete

We are currently piloting a scheme where all non-UK students receive an assessment of need and then up to £10kpa of support mirroring UK DSA provision.

Let me know if you need more detail.

Subject: International students and reasonable adjustments

Can I ask what support in terms of reasonable adjustments are made for international students at your institutions?

Is there a central fund to cover costs for international students?
Do schools have their own funds for any reasonable adjustments not covered by the DSA or other funds?

Many thanks
