Selectors are very interested in diversity within the student population, so your breadth of experience will be a positive feature of your application. You must be adaptable, since learning new skills is part of student life at any age. For example, you may need to learn to use a computer to look up books in the library or to word-process your essays. Selectors will also be looking for staying power. If you have already been juggling work, home, and study commitments, you will certainly be able to demonstrate this.
Selectors often comment on the strong commitment mature students bring to their degrees.
You will need to bear in mind that there are a limited number of places on all our full-time undergraduate degrees, and that entry is therefore competitive. Do try to complete your UCAS form as soon as is practically possible. Use this website together with the Undergraduate Prospectus to decide which mode of study and which subject you would like to pursue and then feel free to contact us for further advice.
