Progression Coaching

For our final year disabled students, it is possible to access careers coaching to support you as you balance the demands of academic study, careers and employability decisions, family and life in general. You can find out more at one of our ‘Disability, Careers and Me’ drop ins.

“As a neurodivergent student, coaching helped me learn about myself and build my confidence, identifying my strengths, skills and the positives of seeing the world slightly differently to others. Nickis knowledge of disability provided me with the kind of support I didn't even know was available at university.”

“Coaching has helped me grow in ways that go far beyond my career. It gave me a safe and supportive space to reflect on my achievements, challenges, identity, faith and the direction I want my life to take. It helped me recognise my own resilience and strengths, particularly during a period that felt uncertain and unpredictable.”
