We welcome applications from mature students (aged 21 or over at the time of entry) and value your enthusiasm, commitment and experience.
entry requirements are more flexible and applications will be considered on individual merit
We understand that the decision to come to university can be a difficult one and we will do our best to provide the support that you need to make the most of your time here. To reflect this, our entry requirements are more flexible and applications will be considered on individual merit, academic background, motivation, interests and relevant experience.
However, we do expect some evidence of recent study at an advanced level within the five years prior to your application. This may include traditional qualifications, such as A Levels, or may involve non-traditional qualifications, including Access to HE Diploma, Open University Credits or CACHE Diploma.
All applications for full-time study should be made through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS).
Our mature students come from a diverse range of backgrounds, including those who have started a degree after raising a family, those who are looking for a career change, and those who have chosen a degree as a hobby during their retirement.
If you are not sure whether you hold appropriate qualifications, we do provide an advisory service for mature students, and our WP Officer will be happy to discuss your options with you. Your first step is to send the details of your qualifications and experience to our WP Officer, outlining which programme(s) you are interested in. Our adviser will be able to assist you to choose the right programme, as well as explain which course of preliminary study might be needed before you could enter higher education.
