Students

Get the most out of student life

Facts, advice and information for blind and partially sighted students of all ages.

Before you go

There will be lots to think about before you go to uni or college for the first time - read about clearing, financial support and your rights. Check out adult learning if you are interested in retraining, taking an evening class or discovering study for the first time since school.

Studying

Pick up study tips and find out how you can access exam materials and libraries.

Staying healthy, going out and having fun

Student life can be hectic, especially when you've just started a new course. If you've moved away from home to study, read our tips on how to survive the first term, stay healthy, and enjoy going out and socialising.

Life after college

It may be just round the corner or four years away but you may be thinking about your options after graduation - volunteer, go on a gap year or choose the career that's right for you.
