Student experience
Hear from our current students
No one student experience is the same - below are just some of the experiences of our current and past mature students. They wanted to share their experiences of studying with new students, looking at the challenges they faced, along with support they engaged with and what worked well for them.
Lisa's story
"When I first enrolled I was a little apprehensive if there would be other mature students undertaking my degree. To my delight when I arrived there was a range of ages older and younger than me and I felt very comfortable".
Lisa McGuinness, Psychology student.
Tamar's story
"You don't have to be 18 or 19 to study, you can be any age ... I genuinely wish I had done this sooner!"
Tamar Hylands, Creative Writing student.

Dylan Collins, Computer Science student.
