Student experience
“I received no support before
coming to uni as I was undiagnosed
as dyslexic”
“It was easier to find out about help at Uni as they were prepared to assess me but my school didn't bother because I was achieving high levels academically so they didn't think I could be dyslexic”.
“Open days helped me
find out what help is
available”
