Mature students
We welcome people from a wide range of backgrounds, including a significant number of mature students (traditionally defined as undergraduates over 21). Your background, whether it is in full-time education, working, family life or travel, will help to enrich the student experience here.
We realise that you may have concerns about:
- fitting in with younger students
- confidence in your academic ability
- the impact of starting at university on other aspects of your life (for example, family, relationships, friendships, work, childcare, commuting or moving to a new area).
That's why we have a Mature Student Support Officer on-hand to can provide advice, information and support. This help is available to all mature students who are:
- applying for a course at NTU
- in their first year of study here.
We want you to get the most out of University life, so telephone +44 (0)115 848 3290 or email us if you need support.
We also realise that financial issues are particularly of concern to most mature students, as many have additional responsibilities, including mortgages and family-related costs. Such considerations make it vital to plan in advance for any change in your financial situation. That's why we provide a wealth of information to help you to plan your finances effectively. To find out about the support available, please see the Student Financial Support Service pages.
What if I'm not happy with the service?
Please talk to the Mature Student Support Officer first. If you would then like to make a formal complaint, please write to the Wellbeing Manager at the Student Services Centre at the City site.
