Mature Students
Entry requirements for mature students can be very flexible. Strong motivation, linked to life experience, can be a key factor in your ability to complete a course successfully. You may not, therefore, always be expected to meet standard course requirements. We like to interview mature applicants wherever possible.
Is there anything else which might help my application?
There are also other details we take into account when considering your application:
- Your work experience / voluntary work or part-time work is important especially if it shows that you are gaining valuable experience in a business or financial environment.
- If you are a mature student, your current and previous work will be considered.
- If you have had the opportunity to attend evening classes in your chosen subject area or to study it via distance learning, these may be useful in strengthening your application.
- Although interviews are not essential, we strongly recommend you to visit the campus at Buckingham and meet our Admissions Tutors whenever possible.
