Navigating the student journey Through Our Eyes.


Created by Thomas Pocklington Trust’s Student Voices, Through Our Eyes is where blind and partially sighted young people get together to chat about the highs and lows of deciding on a course for higher education and applying to uni. Real topics, trends, and conversations. From attending open days, applying for DSA and student finance, choosing accommodation and figuring out uni life as a student with sight loss.


This is a podcast for you. Whether you’re blind, partially sighted, or just curious about the world through a different lens, tune in for conversations with Student Voices. This is Through Our Eyes.

Who burned their house down? Who likes playing blind football and tennis? Which Student Voice lent their voice to the Natural History museum?  Listen to the Student Voices group introduce themselves, talk a little bit about their studies and sight loss and admit to arson, apparently.
