“I was supported by the Disability & Neurodiversity team, who assessed my needs and made specifi c exam access arrangements to make sure I had an equal chance to succeed in my assessments. I’ve since become a Specialist Mentor alongside my studies, helping other students to navigate challenges in their university experience. ”
