Mature Students’ Information Sessions

Dates and events to come soon!

Student to Student

We’re looking for submissions! Have you got any tips for your fellow mature students? Would you like to share a funny / inspiring story of your return to study? Is there a little gem you have discovered (boy I wish knew that when I first started studying!)? Have you discovered a great way to fit a little extra study time into your day?

Why not share your story? You must be a current Arts student or Arts alumni (any major) and your story will be edited with any personal information removed.
