After visiting Swansea University on an open day, seeing the campus and unique beach location, course offerings and specific autism support then I decided it was the place for me! I completed a Geography and History, BA (joint honours) with first class honours before undertaking a Modern History MA. I felt an acceptance and belonging across the university from the lecturers, friends, the autism support services and through the great societies on offer. I finished my master’s degree with a distinction!
