A 500-1000 word self-reflection based on my experience of primary HE research carried out at a University of Huddersfield Open Day.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I obtained a Merit in my first year and hope to maintain or increase that standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The key for me from the university is support for a disability as I have autism. Additional support has been vital both at school and college, and I was not sure what options were available if I went to university as my EHCP would no longer be valid. When I revisited Huddersfield on the 23rd of November, I was keen to look at support options, and the university helped point me to disability student award that I could apply for from Student Finance England, as funds can be used to pay for Non-Medical help and also an extension on submissions of assignments. I have only reviewed Huddersfield University&#8217;s support and will look at other universities to see what support they offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10680389\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/751\/2024\/11\/20241124111218_001-2-716x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10680389\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/751\/2024\/11\/20241124111218_001-2-716x1024.jpg 716w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10680389\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/751\/2024\/11\/20241124111218_001-2-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10680389\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/751\/2024\/11\/20241124111218_001-2-768x1098.jpg 768w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10680389\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/751\/2024\/11\/20241124111218_001-2-1074x1536.jpg 1074w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10680389\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/751\/2024\/11\/20241124111218_001-2.jpg 1131w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 85vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started looking at potential universities in August and September.
