Physics Subject Guide

The university provides assistive software that can be helpful to all students. You can use these apps on university computers or on your own laptop -  just go to the student homepage, click on AppsAnywhere, and search for the app's name. 

Software includes:

• Read&Write - hear text aloud on documents and web pages, add a coloured screen tint, and check your spelling and grammar.
• Colorveil - add a coloured tint to your computer screen. This can reduce eye strain and support reading.
• MindView - create online mind maps and use these to structure your essays, revise for exams, and manage your time. MindView mind maps can also be exported to Word.
• EndNote 21 - keep track of your reading with EndNote 21, and get assistance with citing and referencing. The library has a guide to using EndNote 21.

If you have a qualifying disability (visual, learning or physical) you may be able to get your reading in an alternative format.  You will need to be referred for this by Disability Services.  There is more information about the alternative formats service in the university guide to getting books in accessible formats.

Disability Services' Accessibility Toolkit has useful links and tools for all students, with advice on concerns such as coping with large amounts of reading, structuring your work, improving your concentration, etc.

If you would like support with a disability or want to discuss exam adjustments, you should contact Disability Services.
