For undergraduate courses mature students are classified as students who are over the age of 21 at the beginning of their studies. In some cases you may be a mature student who does not hold our minimum entry requirements or your qualifications are no longer valid/available/grading systems have changed. In these instances we would still encourage you to apply and applications will be assessed on a case by case basis by our admissions team, usually through our Accreditation of Prior Learning form.
