Disability Inclusion
Equal access to university life is a vital part of every student experience. The Disability Inclusion team are here to make sure it happens for you. We work with a diverse range of students with disabilities, long-term physical or mental health conditions, or specific learning difficulties. This includes students with dyslexia, students who stammer and those who are neurodiverse.
Whether you need information, academic support or guidance, we provide a range of support and guidance about Disabled Student Allowance funding, support for technology that helps you study and recommendations about exam adjustments.

Chaplaincy
For students from all faiths and from none, the Chaplaincy service offers support and a sense of community. We believe that spiritual wellbeing is important, and the Honorary Chaplains and Belief Contacts represent many of the main world religions and promote a multi-faith and belief approach, helping you reach out to make new connections, meet new friends and feel part of the Edinburgh Napier community.

Free, anonymous online support with Togetherall
Starting university comes with the pressure of making new friends, which can be more difficult than expected. Everyone experiences their own journey, which sometimes comes with feelings of isolation, but it's how we cope with these feelings that count.
As an Edinburgh Napier student, you have free, 24/7, immediate access to Togetherall, a large, diverse community where friendships can be made with others that might be experiencing exactly the same as you. Join the ‘Student Life’ group to make deeper connections with other students anonymously and talk freely about your worries.
