Our researchers and students have been working for several years on initiatives supported by the Royal Academy of Engineering

We are very excited to launch the “How-to” guide.

“Having spent my undergraduate years volunteering as a student representative, one of the most important aspects to me was supporting and raising awareness for neurodiverse students. Continuing with my postgraduate career at Plymouth, it’s been fantastic to continue to have the opportunity to provide student voice to the RAEng project. Co-creation initiatives like the ones happening at the University of Plymouth are fantastic ways to see the passion neurodiverse students have for their studies being consistently returned in kind with a passion for helping students to achieve their goals.”
