Support is a priority for our students and is provided through a multifaceted approach. We have a dedicated Additional Learning Support team, who work closely with our welfare team, personal tutors, and our teaching staff. Support is personalised to meet the needs of our students, including where appropriate, differentiated teaching strategies and reasonable adjustments.
The learning support team meet with students to provide targeted support such as: organisation, time management, understanding assignment briefs and criteria, structuring work and learning strategies. Being a fully inclusive organisation means ALL our students benefit from our anticipatory adjustments as we adopt the Social Model of Disability.
We monitor all our students regularly to make sure we are proactive concerning their care, support and progress. We welcome students and prospective students to come and discuss with us their needs and disabilities any time. Please note, Italia Conti do not fund any diagnostic assessment of need.
If you have any concerns about access to learning or want to know more about our person-centred approach, please contact:

If you are applying for one of our degree courses, you may be entitled to extra funding in order to support your learning.
If you are entitled to a student loan through Student Finance, you can apply for a DSA (Disabled Student Allowance) by submitting evidence of your disability (this includes a range of needs, from dyslexia to anxiety). They will be able to complete a needs assessment that would determine if you would be entitled to financial support. Further information can be found at
Support is a priority for our students and is provided through a multifaceted approach. We have a dedicated Additional Learning Support Tutor who works closely with our Wellbeing Team, Heads of Year and our teaching staff. Support is personalised to meet the needs of our students, including where practicable and appropriate, differentiated teaching strategies and reasonable adjustments. Support and adjustment, particularly in practical disciplines, will be discussed on a case-by-case basis, according to individual students’ needs and the needs of the subject being studied.
We encourage the self-disclosure of hidden impairments (eg dyslexia) to support equality of access to training. Students who have declared an Additional Learning Support and Disability need will automatically be offered a regular support session. Additionally, students can request a referral or self-refer to additional learning support via their Head of Year, the Wellbeing Team or Course Administrator. Drop-in academic tutorials and assessment clinics may also be made available to students on an ad-hoc basis.
