Did you take some gap years? Or a second degree?

Postgrad, so maybe not what you're asking about.

You can find statistics on the HESA site for the age of students when they start their degrees. I believe, that 79% of students on the first year of their degree are 20 or younger.

You can also find the percentage of mature students by uni here: https://st.hitcreative.com/education/university_guide/active/UniversityGuide/index/year/2017/goto/tableSearchAnchor

Does the new uni you're lecturing at have more mature students, have you noticed, than the other uni?

Fewer in terms of ones that I taught, but I think in general there are more (or there seem to be more milling about!)

Might be on the move again soon, actually :laugh:

Quite a difference between those degrees...Are you planning on making a sequel to Scrubs? :biggrin:

Is the Biomed a postgrad degree or another undergrad one?
