Prospective mature student in need of help from other mature students

So this is a question for the mature students (or at least those who know a mature student who might have been in the same situation that I'm currently in).

I recently gained admission to study in the UK as a mature student, however I have been away from education for quite sometime now as I have always been self-sponsored so I had to work for some years to raise up a substantial amount of funds for my education as well as my sustenance, I now feel like I have some amount of money that could go a long way in covering the necessary expenditures towards my tuition, accommodation and basic sustenance but my concern here is how to convince the visa authorities on why I have decided to resume my education after a long time away from the four corners of educational institutions.

I was told that I might have to write an introduction letter explaining all of this. Has anyone else found themselves in a position similar to mine? Can anyone please tell me how to go about this? I would be very grateful.

Anyone?

Hi,

Unfortunately, I do not know what the best advice is regarding your visa. I think you may find some advice from contacting the admissions team of your chosen university, maybe even contacting citizens advice also?

Can't help with the visa question but I am curious, are you coming back to the UK just to study? If yes, I have to ask... why? There are much cheaper options for international students in Europe. With probably less strict work conditions, too.

I'm not sure where you are based, but you should be able to google your local citizens advice office and make an appointment to see them.
