Mature Students?

Mature Students?

Does anyone know at what age you are officially considered a mature student?

Any help appreciated

Re: Mature Students?

over 21 i think...

Defo 21, but you can only get into Northumbria. Unless you've got amazing qualifications already. Northumbria take on more mature students than just about anywhere. Newcastle take on more private school kids. Every Uni gives themselves targets to meet for certain age groups, school background ect.

You guys fucking rock, thanks a lot, thats very good news to me, because someone told me it was 25.

Cheers

:spangled: northumbria takes in anyone with an access course... basic maths skills is all mature students seem to need...

I still need AAB, which I think is, like, 340 UCAS points or something?

surely because your only 19?

wait until your 21? - you wont have to pay fees (assuming the system doesnt change) and you'll only need minimal qualifications...




thought you where going to do medicine? or are you doing bio-med?

As a mature student I'll still require those A Level qualifications, or, in the case of Manchester University, an Access to Medicine Certificate from one of the City's Colleges. By the time I start University I'll be nearly 22...

If I were to go now, I'd need AAB in Chesmitry, Biology & Physics, an AS in Mathematics and would need to resit around 5 GCSEs!

I have a few options anyway, some a little less demanding (but still related) than medicine

best of luck to ya mate... you look like a doctor btw

I'll bring me stethoscope to Promise

All depends on which university you wanna go to, theyve all got different criteria for what they class as a mature student. Most places it 21 though.

Wrong!!!! I'm 23 and still have to pay fees the robbing bastards as for qualifications you still need your basic GCSE's and some other qualification or work experience.

Have a look at link below for information about mature students at newcastle

I thought it was when you were 25.

Newcastle uni had massive widening participation target, and takes on loads of mature students. mainly cos they get paid loads more by the government to do so.

AND, ive got loads of mates over 21, and they still pay fees. I think you still have to pay fees.

Get yerself to Scotland and get an education for free

the saying "you get what u pay for" springs to mind...

Aye, 70% of the work force in my place are jocks, so we end up in your 'well' paid jobs

Allie, are you going to grow into one of those chaps that present open university shows on BBC2

Scotland is better than England in most aspects these days IMO.
