What is the Learning Hub?

The Learning Hub is the central support area for students who have additional educational needs (AENs). Students may have educational and medical needs that impact upon their academic studies. Students who have been previously formally assessed (through Educational Psychologists, Consultants, Occupational Therapists, Neurologists or Specialist Registrars etc.) are automatically registered with Learning Support.

The aims of Learning Support for students are:

Empowering students to self-manage their study skills
Learning Support for students registered as having an educational need (learning need and/or medical condition)
Providing reasonable accommodations for registered students with additional needs
