For many mature students returning to education can be a daunting prospect, especially if it has been some time since you last had to write an essay. A study skills pack is provided and the Students' Union and Senior Tutor's Office run various study skills courses for all new students. The Union provides services for all students at the University and you will benefit from your involvement with it. It helps with personal development and gives you experience of extra curricular activities which may be useful when applying for jobs. One of the strongest attractions of the Union is the huge range of societies on offer.
All advice is confidential and is provided by a team of trained advisors.
This committee provides an excellent service. It represents and promotes the interests of mature students, and offers advice and information on a range of issues, such as finance, studying and family. We have been there, done it and got the T-shirt. It's a big step to make the decision to come to university, but here at Warwick we think that this committee can go a long way to helping make your learning experience all the more enjoyable. New committee members are always welcome.
