Jo Jebb, Disability Adviser

Disability Statement
Queen Margaret University is committed to equality of opportunity and believes in a culture of diversity and inclusion. We offer flexible educational programmes to suit many different groups of students.

We aim to offer an accessible curriculum, which can be adapted to meet individual needs in an environment where consideration is given to enabling everyone to participate in all aspects of academic and social life.

A team of Disabled Student Co-ordinators in academic and support departments, specialist tutors and student assistants, supported by a full time Disability Adviser are dedicated to the provision of information, support and guidance for disabled students. Through a system involving an Individual Learning Plan for each disabled student, we aim to offer a package of academic and personal support, which is constantly monitored and adapted to meet individual needs. You will be assisted to come up with an Individual Learning plan unique to you by your Disabled Student Coordinator. The information from this plan will then be shared (with your permission) with other staff you will come into contact with to ensure your requirements are taken into consideration.
