I have an Independent Learning Plan set up by the accessibility team, and that does work well for me, however I don't have access to regular support catch-ups or meetings with a mentor which may have been helpful for me week to week.

I study online, and the online learning platform works really well however it can sometimes be tricky to navigate, e.g. more than one section with the same name.

The structure of the course works really well for me. All the lectures are recorded so you can watch them back in your own time. I like that each week is broken down into individual steps, this helps me to stay on track and understand what I am supposed to be doing during the week.

Falmouth University open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
