Abstract The research investigated the obstacles faced by undergraduates with visual impairments while studying at a Nigerian university striving to establish an inclusive learning environment for students with disabilities. The aim was to generate empirical evidence that can inform policies at the university and other similar institutions. The research is anchored in Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, and a qualitative descriptive research design was employed. Using purposive sampling, 11 (male = 7; female = 4) undergraduate students living with blindness were recruited. Data were collected using semi‐structured interviews and subjected to inductive data analysis. It was found that students encounter various challenges, emanating from peers, lecturers, the university and their families. The results demonstrate how different contexts influence the learning outcomes of students with visual impairments, warranting more comprehensive intervention programmes.
