No matter the average age, 24 is certainly not too old. There's not even such a thing

Jesus Christ, university is open to anyone of any age. 24 years old is not 'too old' to do a masters. What age do you want to be? 21?

i heard that in uk many people graduate at the age of 21 and then start their masters degree in the same period

I started my bachelors at 20, almost 21. I finsihed a masters just now and walked into a great job even though I needed sponsorship.
As long as you're good at what you do, and are a nice person, you'll have good opportunities, and have a great time, too.

my course is cyber security engineering, i hope that i will be younger than average

EDIT - from what I gather from people I know in the compsci / tech world, early -mid 20s is the age a lot of people enter (with candidates entering from late teens to late 20s being considered normal - but that is work...no idea about masters tbh).
At the end of the day however, you are never too old to learn and cyber security engineering sounds cool (if your using windows 10, you can download kali from the windows 10 app store (as well as ubuntu and other linux OS')) and best of luck with the degree

it's definitely not too old for a masters...but why would you want to be ****ing around with a masters in your mid twenties when you could be out gaining workplace experience that will actually give you useful skills unlike a masters?

no ure bollox because i live in a different country and in order to be employed with high salary and to be in a better position you must have at least masters degree.(talking about top employers of course) but in uk, experience is more important i see, so you are right about uk.

Furthermore, the meaning for master degree is to strengthen and specialize a certain field. Most postgraduate students are actually mature students(21+), because it is your job experience and interest after you enter workplace to guide you what you need and what you are interested in. So 24 is actually common in unis, not sure about Warwick tho.

I seriously wonder if you should be applying for a masters with that sort of mindset.
