Around 1 in 4 people will suffer from a common mental health difficulty, such as anxiety or depression, at some point in their lives. One sixth of the population will be suffering from these common mental health difficulties at any time. We are all involved in mental health and we are all likely to be supporting friends, or family members, with mental health difficulties at any point in our lives.
1 in 100 people suffer from a more severe and enduring mental health difficulty which may be classified or diagnosed as a mental illness, such as Schizophrenia or Bi-Polar Affective Disorder. Some students may come to University with such an existing difficulty, or may experience this for the first time during their studies. Disability support can be arranged, and negotiated, to help with the impact of these mental health difficulties on a student’s ability to study.
Every student's needs are different. Your disability advisor can help arrange the most appropriate level of support for your needs.
This support can include:
For your own interest, feel free to consult our list of recommended links for support on a range of topics related to health and wellbeing.

With your consent, we will contact relevant members of UEL staff to inform them of your disability and support needs. This will be done by drawing up a Learning Support Agreement with your disability advisor.
