I studied a degree in criminology and sociology, I did research and found a dyslexia friendly uni, that tested me for free, They also gaveme stuff like dictaphones that help to relisten to the lesson.
I also created hundreds of mindmaps and notes during my course and that didnt help either :)

Hi Nicki
There are lots of students at universities all over the country who have dyslexia (and dyspraxia and ADHD) including Oxford, Cambridge and the OU. The support available to them is designed to 'level the playing field' and includes computers, assistive software and 1:1 specialist support. Not having an assessment shouldn't stop you from applying; some universities may be able to help towards the cost of the diagnostic assessment.
Best of luck with your studies!
Carol
