C Mathematical Institute Departmental Disability Statement and Student Support

C1 Disability Statement

The Mathematical Institute is committed to making its teaching and other resources, facilities and services available to students, staff and others with disabilities as appropriate to ensure they are not at a disadvantage. In some cases, this may require reasonable adjustments to the building, facilities, services or to teaching methods. 

Those with disabilities are encouraged to discuss their needs with the Disability Coordinator (academic.administrator@maths.ox.ac.uk) at the earliest possible opportunity. 

If you experience difficulties with your course because of a disability, you should discuss this with your college tutors. Some colleges have a specific member of staff who assists students with welfare difficulties. 

Further information about disability support in the Mathematical Institute is available online: https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/policies/disability as well as information on building accessibility: https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/building-information/accessibility

C2 Health and Welfare

Your College tutors in Mathematics and in Philosophy will provide you with support and guidance on your academic work. You will almost certainly be assigned a Personal Tutor or Advisor (who may be one of your college tutors) concerned with your personal welfare and to whom you can turn to for support and advice on non-academic matters. Every College has their own systems of support for students, please refer to your College handbook or website for more information on who to contact and what support is available through your College. 

In addition to the support provided by colleges, there are several central services which exist to support students during their studies, including the Student Counselling Service and the student-led Nightline.

Student Counselling Service: The University has a professionally-staffed confidential Student Counselling Service for assistance with personal, emotional, social and academic problems. The service is free to all matriculated undergraduate members of the University.

Nightline: This is a confidential anonymous listening service run by and for Oxford students, open 8am-8pm in term-time. You can phone them, or visit their offices at 16 Wellington Square.
