It seems to be a bit of a needle in a haystack situation. Because of her ASD, DD chose to do a foundation degree (in computing) at our local college. She finishes in 2021 & has decided she wants to top it up to a full degree. We never considered she would choose to finish off the degree due to her severe anxiety & social difficulties, but happy that she is.
Its not easy trying to find the right place due to the sheer lack of appropriate top-up courses. We are also looking into established courses she may join part way through, ideally year 3, (if necessary year 2) but most unis don't state if they accept students partway through so its a case of contacting them all & asking relevant questions so I thought I'd ask on here!
The most important thing is that the uni is good with ASD students. Small campus, halls within walking distance of lectures, class sizes not huge, preferably some on campus support in addition to her DSA mentors, etc. Any ideas on unis that are good with computing that fit the brief for ASD students? Thanks!
