Uni In Sight

University is about so much more than just studying for a degree! It’s about gaining independence, taking control of your future, meeting new and diverse people, immersing yourself in a new city, honing skills and embracing new interests.

Everyone should be able to join in and benefit from all these opportunities, but barriers can make this challenging for blind and partially sighted students. With the right adjustments and understanding these barriers can be overcome. That’s why we created Uni In Sight!

Uni In Sight brings together helpful resources and advice focused on how blind and partially sighted students can experience all the amazing opportunities university has to offer outside of the lecture room.

If you are a blind or partially sighted student, we have some great advice to help you with living at university, getting out and about, getting involved in sports, as well as who the professionals to support you at university are and looking after your mental health.

There are also helpful tips and advice for flatmates/housemates, friends, staff and event organisers to better understand and support a blind or partially sighted student.

Together we can build an accessible and inclusive university experience for everyone!
