You will also get a fantastic opportunity to prove to yourself and to employers that you can cope with higher-level study, understand information, meet deadlines, work independently and in a team, solve problems, and speak and write with confidence. For some jobs, you have to have a specific degree for example, if you want to work as a librarian or doctor, lawyer or pharmacist, architect or surveyor, or in many science-related areas such as pathology laboratories, you have to study a particular set of courses. For other careers such as accountancy, insurance, publishing, commercial buying or banking, the degree subject does not matter as much because employers are likely to want you just because you have been to university.
University is for everyone whatever their age and background.
University students are people of all sorts because people of all ages update their skills, retrain for a new career or study for interest. If you can meet the entry requirements for what you want to study, you will be welcome. What you do need is a willingness to take on the challenge of higher-level learning. Nor do you need to be a school-leaver of 18. Over 20 per cent of people who applied for full-time courses and were accepted to go to university were over the age of 21.
