A new chapter

You're not starting over. You're starting something new

Maybe you've spent decades in one career and want to explore something completely different. Maybe you've always regretted not going to university. Maybe you simply love learning and want to do it properly, with a qualification at the end.

Whatever your reason, it's a good one.

Universities welcome mature students, and many offer part-time, evening and blended options designed for people with full lives. Your experience counts. You won't be the oldest person in the room and even if you are, that's rarely the barrier people fear it will be.

On the money side, student finance is available for eligible students regardless of age, and you're assessed independently. Read our Funding Guide for the Full Picture →

We've helped hundreds of mature learners find their route back into education. We'd love to help you find yours.

I'd wanted to study history since I was 18. Life got in the way. At 42, I finally did it. The other students have been wonderful and the tutors treat you as an equal.

I was nervous about being the oldest. I needn't have been. My life experience has been an asset in every seminar and every assignment.
Angela, 39Psychology Student
