UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS
RETURNING TO LEARNING By choosing to study later in your career you are making a decision to take on a new challenge and change your life. It’s never too late to change your career, embrace new ideas and reach your full potential. We share your ambition and will do everything we can to help make it happen. While plenty of applicants come to us straight from school or college, many have spent some time in the world of work, gaining valuable skills and knowledge. Around 15% of our student population are mature learners. This diversity of experience is a great asset to our university. There is no need to worry if it is a long time since you have studied, or you feel your academic skills need some improvement. Comprehensive support is available to help you build your confidence so that you feel prepared to take on this new challenge.
When I lost my husband to cancer a few years ago I thought ‘life is short’ and I wanted to pursue a lifelong interest. I am finding it challenging but rewarding studying at 53 years of age. Classroom dynamics are friendly and accepting and I feel very much part of my group. I have been active in the Students’ Union, particularly in forming our Mature Students’ Society. Tracy | Fine Art
