Disability & access support

The Royal College of Music is dedicated to ensuring that no student is subjected to unfair discrimination. In order to do this, we ask you to let us know if you need additional support arising out of a disability or other circumstances (eg being a care leaver, having dependents or caring responsibilities or having a criminal conviction) so that we can make any supplementary arrangements, with your agreement, to support you.

Please complete and submit our Disability and Access Support form. RCM staff will treat your information confidentially. It will only be seen by staff members who will help provide support or have a legitimate need to know. After submitting this form, you will be contacted by the Student Services Manager with an invitation to discuss any requirements you may have.

Disabled Students' Allowance

Eligible UK-based undergraduate and postgraduate students can apply for the Disabled Students’ Allowance to help pay for extra costs that might be entailed by the impact of their disability, mental-health condition or specific learning difficulty on their studies.

International students and those not eligible for the Disabled Students’ Allowance are strongly encouraged to contact Student Services to discuss their support needs. Your discussion will take place in complete confidence.
