7. University of Sheffield 

The University of Sheffield's campus is made up of a varied mix of premises, from traditional 'red brick' Victorian buildings to contemporary structures.

9. University of Glasgow

The fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world, the University of Glasgow sits in the top 1% of the world's universities. It is committed to promoting disability equality in all its activities and to providing an inclusive environment that fosters a positive experience for all staff, students and other members of the university community.

The university strives to make the campus accessible to all users, but recognises that some may encounter limitations around its main campus, due to its hilltop location. It, therefore, understands the importance of enabling access to accurate, practical information on the accessibility of its physical estate, so that those with disabilities are able to make informed choices before applying.
