Buildings within Wadham College vary in degrees of accessibility to people with physical disabilities.  Some of our buildings date as far back as the seventeenth century and are not presently fully accessible.  However, we will do as much as we can to make reasonable physical adjustments or arrangements to make the College as accessible as possible. 

The extent to which we are presently able to make College fully accessible, depends upon individual requirements, but we do have experience of many students and staff with disabilities living and working within the College.  Please do contact us for more information and to discuss your requirements.
