Information for mature students

We always welcome and encourage applications from mature students (those aged 21 or over). We consider making offers on a case-by-case basis, dependent upon your particular experience.

If you're a mature applicant, you'll need to demonstrate that you have the skills and abilities that are necessary to succeed on the course. You might do this by taking further qualifications such as A levels on a part-time basis or by doing well in professional examinations. Successful completion of an Access course may meet our requirements, but we'll need full details of how the course is validated and assessed, so we can make sure you've reached the right standard.
