The Mature Student Experience
Read the latest stories and experiences of our mature students at the University of Chester.


Tara's Story
I have made up my mind that failure does not exist in my vocabulary and with all the help here at Chester you can succeed.

Dion’s story
It’s never too late and you are never too old to come back into education. It rejuvenates, puts that lost smile back on your face and adds a sense of purpose.

Hannah’s story
I met five mature students taking the same course as me at the Welcome Event before I started my first year, and we are now all very firm friends.

John's Story
University life is more than just studies, it’s an opportunity to define who you want to become, if it’s following a career, hobby or becoming more socially active.

Elaine’s story
The support for mature students is excellent and I have made good use of it throughout my years at the University, there is always someone to help you.
