Mature Students
If you are being classed as a mature student it doesn’t mean that you are old! ‘Mature Student’ is an official classification term used in higher education to describe students who are 21 or over when they start a Foundation or Undergraduate degree or 25 or over for Postgraduate courses. Just over 30% of our students are classed as mature, which gives us a great understanding of the potential difficulties involved in making the move into becoming a student. We aim to make your transition into higher education as easy as possible. -
