Yes

A lot! Internships and other jobs at the university, they also partnering up with other opportunities so they do a lot for us students when it comes to employability.

Online right now so I’m in Sweden. A lot of contact with my autism mentor and personal tutor that helps a lot.

Unfortunately I haven’t experienced a lot of it. But I did get a bit experience when I was in the uk in sep to dec. I think it’s really good. They really do take care of their students, they have a lot of shared spaces to study and libraries and a lot of help to get.

I have autism and depression and I have received great help from dmu. They have been very understanding and helpful and also very accepting of me and my problems.

On my course, we have had many guest speakers come in from many different places. The NHS, Public Health England have been the most prominent ones to come to uni (online) to talk to us all. We have also had talks about other training programs available other than just work, or just a masters degree. We also have many sessions about applying to jobs and preparing our personal statement. Also, many jobs have been advertised both within uni and outside of uni, all through the unis email system altering all students on my course of the availabilities.

The course is taught by some amazing people. The hours per week are a lot less than I imagined however we are expected to do a lot of extra study outside of our normal sessions. It has been mainly taught online this year, with the exception of a face to face lab practical. The online sessions for my course have all been synchronous, so the lecturer or teacher has been present and teaching in the same way they usually would. This has allowed me to be a lot more focused and has ‘forced’ me to attend and not ‘do it tomorrow’. They are there to answer any questions, and do so, although they can’t see or hear us most of the time!

For my second year, it has been online only. The availability of most of my books required for the course has been available online instead which has been a saviour! From what I have seen, items have been cleaned as and when required, and the library has had extra measures taken to ensure cleanliness. My student support sessions have also been available throughout this pandemic, although online. There has also been new software available through the university which has made a huge difference to me who is a very visual learner

As someone who has disability support session, they have been available just as much as the year before , before COVID. They have been of similar structure although online. This has allowed me to focus more on my work and revision instead of having to travel to uni to have my 1 hour tutor session. There has also been sessions mar available to students such as mental health and well-being session, with regular email checking up on the students.

The facilities at university are excellent

They don’t help at all

No

We have done a whole module on getting a job and we’ve worked on press packs each year, so we know very well what we need to include.

My course is very busy when in person, as we have workshops for practical sessions as well as the studios. It’s not as busy online as were unable to do anything practical, but we’re still kept with work to do and we always can speak to someone for advise. The contact between students as tutors is really good and I know I can talk them any of them about any issue I’m facing.

We have a lot of equipment that we are available to use for whatever material we choose to specialise in, as well as being able to use other workshops if we need to. The shared studio is spacious with computers ready for all the technical requirements. This has also been made available to us whilst working at home so we can still use Adobe.

I have two mentors for my disability which I speak to for an hour every week, and it covers whatever I need it to at the time. I wouldn’t have been able to go throughout my uni course without the support the disability team have given me.
