Best universities for mature students?
Which universities in london are good options for mature students to start the UG study in January 2017?
There are no best, every uni will have mature students. Unless you're significantly older i wouldn't worry
Every uni will have mature students but not every uni will offer equal incentives for mature students.
I've been considering Loughborough because their Product Design and Engineering courses all look rather good, which was enough to get me interested, but having a look round their site they also have a lot of financial incentives to offer to mature students:

It would be good to know if there are similar opportunities for mature students at other universities, as I can't seem to find a comprehensive comparison of what's available.

Students are also eligible for London weighting on their student loan, even though it's outside the M25.
