Learn more about the supportive communities available to you if you’re a mature student.

What do we offer

Designed and delivered in collaboration with current students, our online Mature Students hub is where you can connect with others and access resources and information designed with your needs in mind, whatever your age.

Our popular Mature Students’ Community programme offers low-pressure, inclusive and relaxed drop-ins throughout the year, with themes and activities planned with your needs in mind, such as social, wellbeing and academic skills related sessions.

We also offer more focussed workshops and pre-university activities designed to support adult learners starting undergraduate studies after a break from education or later in life. Our offer changes slightly each year in response to student feedback but you will usually receive a direct email invitation for activities you are eligible for.

Whether you took a couple of years out after college, are re-training, coming back to education after having children or studying for pleasure in retirement, the Mature Students’ Community is designed for you.
