Study advice
Summary: Advice for blind and partially sighted students on study methods, revision, assessments, technology, and support available from RNIB.
If you’re blind or partially sighted, studying doesn't have to be a chore, but it takes organisation and a bit of forward planning. It often involves some discussion with teaching and support staff in advance to find out which study techniques work best for you.
If your college or university staff aren't used to working with students with sight problems, we can give them advice. Tell them about our PCET (Post-Compulsory Education and Training) section for teaching professionals.
