A student with visual impairment talks about her experience of studying at the University of Latvia. She participated at special preparatory courses. During classes, she uses a dictaphone and takes notes of the most important parts. The process of finding the needed books is time consuming, as not all of them are in Braille and some texts have to be scanned and then read using technologies. A professor talks about how technologies facilitate the interaction with visually impaired students and the need to prepare e-materials. Another student with visual impairment however did not get accepted into a Music High school, so to continue her studies on HE level she had to take private lessons.
