General Information
We understand that some of our students might have had breaks in their education for various reasons and chose to study abroad with us at a later age. Mature Students are considered 21 years or older at the time of matriculation. In the UK Over half of mature students are aged between 21 and 24, and around 40% are over 30. Mature students often balance their studies alongside work or caring responsibilities. (https://www.ucas.com/undergraduate/mature-undergraduate-students)
In the UK and Ireland, universities support their mature students through maternity leave policies, having childcare on campus available to students, and designated support offices.
