Picking a new career path Aisha was at the stage in life where she started to think about what she wanted to do next. It was at this point that someone told her about the University of East London. “I came down with my husband and my kids. And we just took a walk along the waterside. I remember saying to myself ‘I want to be here’. There was something about the peace and calmness of sitting near the waterside. But what sold it most for me was the library. I fell in love with the library.”
Beaming with confidence Aisha’s time here helped her become more confident – she benefited from on-going advice and encouragement from our social sciences lecturers. She even became a programme rep which gave her an opportunity to sit down with lecturers and voice other students’ concerns.
Meet Aisha – social sciences graduate
Aisha graduated from BSc Psychosocial Studies in 2014. It helped her decide on her next career move – and she joined us for our MSc Career Coaching course to develop specialist skills. Now…

Choosing to live in halls was one of the best decisions that I made in regards to my university experience. I made so many friends. In fact, the friends that I made while living in Jamilah house are the same friends that I’m really close to today. You meet so many new people, and you get to experience so many different cultures and foods.

Meet Ben – studying with autism

Undergraduate Study Guide - 2022
From college to university
Support from a peer mentor
Ben joined us to study history. Diagnosed with autism, he knew he might struggle to adapt to a new place and settle in. When he came here, there was already support in place to ease his transition from college to university.
One thing that really helped Ben was our peer-to-peer mentoring scheme. This is where we pair up new student with someone in their second or third year. Ben’s mentor helped him navigate around campus, showed him around the library and explained how to make the most of all our services. “A lot of people say the friends you make at university are friends for life. And I definitely did that. In each year, I gradually came out of my shell and interacted with more students.”
The University of East London felt like the sort of university that would meet my needs. Being someone with autism, it’s very difficult to adapt to new environments. When I came to the Open Day, I knew the support on offer would really help me” 61
University of East London - Pioneering Futures
Moving to university is a big step. And it can be even more challenging when you have autism. At our Open Day, Ben discovered how we could offer the support he needed to adjust to university, find his way around and prepare for his future.
