Book a meeting with our Disability advisor:

Ms Aalaa El Masry is the University’s Disability Advisor, with an MSc in Psychology and five years of experience supporting students with a wide range of needs. I’m here to offer a welcoming and judgment free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and discussing any challenges you may be facing.

Together, we can explore what support would help you make the most of your university experience and work with your faculty to put appropriate adjustments in place. My goal is to ensure every student feels heard, included, and empowered throughout their university journey.
