These are well worth investigating to find the best one for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I decided to take the two-year part-time option for my MSc so I could manage my workload without damaging my health. It\u2019s made the whole process much less stressful. If you do go for the part-time option, talk to your department about how modules can be split up. If, like me, your condition gets worse in winter (cold + damp = unhappy joints!), it might be possible to take more modules in the spring to take some of the pressure off. Get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/study\/postgraduate-taught\/courses\/about\/\">more information here<\/a> or by contacting your department directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a UK resident, you may be able to access <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/disabled-students-allowances-dsas\">Disabled Students\u2019 Allowance<\/a>. The application process is a bit of a faff but it can give you access to a load of support, including mentoring and specialist software to help with your studies. As part of the process, you\u2019ll have a chance to discuss exactly what you need with an advisor. But I personally use: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dragon NaturallySpeaking &#8211; speech to text<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sonocent AudioNotetaker &#8211; a really useful piece of kit for recording lectures and slides with the ability to take notes alongside them<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ReadAndWrite Gold &#8211; a screen reader with filters and a PDF reading function which comes in handy for reading journal articles <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a university level, you can get in touch with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/students\/support\/disability\/accessing-support\/\">Disability Services<\/a> to request a Student Support Plan. This is another chance to discuss any concerns you might have about studying with a disability and put together a plan to deal with them. This might be allowing extra time for assessments, special arrangements for exams, or in-classroom support &#8211; whatever will help you to get the most out of your course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within your department, there will also be a designated Disability Officer (listed on the department\u2019s staff page). You can contact them about course-specific issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When you get here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find out how you learn best<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two most important things for me when it comes to studying are finding a good study space and having some kind of routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of study spaces across campus, including accessible private study rooms in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/library\/study\/\">JB Morrell and Fairhurst libraries<\/a> on Campus West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I personally prefer working in cafes and in York, I\u2019m definitely spoilt for choice! There are great options down Fossgate and Goodramgate in the city centre, and Bishopthorpe Road slightly further out of town. My favourites are Cosy Time on Fossgate and Plush on Stonegate, but there are plenty of others to explore. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euansguide.com\/\">Euan\u2019s Guide<\/a> is useful for checking out accessibility. I\u2019m a cane user and don\u2019t normally have difficulties with accessing cafes, but if you use a wheelchair it might be worth calling ahead to check about facilities. York has a lot of historic buildings which aren\u2019t always easy to get into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trying to maintain a routine with a chronic illness or disability is, to put it mildly, kind of a nightmare But I find it helpful to have plans in place for good days and bad days. That way I can keep to a broad structure but adapt it if something goes wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ask for help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally (and most importantly) &#8211; don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help. Even beyond the disability-specific support services, the staff in my department have been incredibly supportive. Although I totally understand the temptation to try and power through difficulties, I\u2019ve never regretted being open about what I need to get the best out of my course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that <strong>you have a right to postgraduate qualifications as much as anyone<\/strong>. And you deserve to access whatever you need to get the university experience that works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/category\/support\/\">student stories about support at York<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before you go Check out your options A lot of courses at York have part-time or online study options for postgraduates.
