Mature Students at the University of Sunderland
Hi
I'm a mature student at the University of Sunderland. I returned to learning when I was 46 and I'm still here at nearly 52! I did an undergrad, a masters, and now a PhD
Do you have any questions about navigating uni as a mature student? hit me up, I have a wealth of experience so I may be able to help

Fantastic, thank you for sharing Daniel.
We have had a number of mature students on the site over the years. I remember one who was studying in her late 70s. Marvellous

I think Sunderland's record was a fine art student who was 87 - you're never too old!

as in academically? it depends on the course tbh - exams are getting phased out apart from in subjects where they are specifically needed, like medical courses and accredited courses where exams are a compulsory element. For undergrad, you're probably looking at 1 or 2 written pieces per unit with a pass at 40%, and grade boundaries around 60% and 70%. Creative courses are different obviously, as there will be a level of assessment of created works.

Hi Daniel! Thank you for offering your wealth of knowledge 🙂 I'm applying as an international and independent student. Do you have any advice on what to include in the application a mature student? I'm in my late 30's.

Usually it's between 3 and 6 months before the start of your course, but remember the uni will be sorting out September and October starts currently, and they are larger intakes, so be patient
