Disability Service

BMI does not award its own qualifications and as such the following accommodations relate to in-house assessments and exams only. Because the awards students pursue in BMI are accredited by external professional bodies any alternative arrangements for these examinations will need to be agreed with the relevant body directly. 

BMI acknowledges that it is not possible to draw up a set of specific arrangements appropriate to all students with a disability – examination and assessments will depend upon the individual circumstances of the exam/assessment and of the student’s disability. Prior to enrolment we would ask any prospective students to advise us of any disabilities and we will discuss the most suitable accommodations. Documentary evidence may be required.

Please note that these procedures have been designed to place students with disabilities on an equal footing with other students, not to give them an advantage. The same academic requirements and standards apply to all students. An example of some of the accommodations provided.

• Flexibility in the balance between assessed course work and examinations
• Additional time allowances, rest breaks and re-scheduling of examinations or assessment
• The availability of examinations or assignments in alternative formats such as different type and/or larger type.
• Flexibility to change rooms if the need arises.
