Bristol Mature Students (UWE UoB BIMM)

Hey 🌞

I will be 29 by September 2025 and I am moving to Bristol to study Product Design at UWE. I just thought I'd start a thread to meet other mature students in Bristol so that we don't feel alone if there are more younger people on our courses.

In my downtime I love drum and bass events, I like to DJ and produce my own music and I have ran the odd event in my hometown. I also love graphic design, dancing and anything creative!

Feel free to introduce yourself below; your age, course subject, hobbies & any other details you may think of! 🙂

Hey there! I’m 27 as of September this year. I am currently studying Music Production at dBs and will be likely moving over to BIMM as of September to study Music Production & Music Business.

I DJ in my spare time, enjoy going to nightlife events. I have a few different projects on the go too.

Hey, I've heard lots of good things about BIMM. What sort of music do you produce and DJ? 🙂

Glad to know i won't be the only old person starting uni in bristol hahaha.

I'm also a big drum and bass fan and i have a couple of DJ mates that currently live in Bristol.They always try and organise events and stuff, i can't say i have first experience of all of that but just know you won't be alone in that group. I'll be 27 when i start. Outside of that, i play some video games and i like to hike and stuff
