Information for mature students
The beginning of a journey
Loughborough particularly welcomes mature students (those aged 21 and over at registration) for the wealth of life experience they bring to their studies.
You may be considering a career change, seeking the skills needed to secure promotion, or simply returning to education to study something you have always been interested in.
Whatever your motivation, we recognise that the decision to return to learning after a gap is usually a big one and is the start of a new journey. Choosing to go to university as a mature student will, for some, involve significant life changes, and for this reason, Loughborough University provides a wide range of support.
Whether your thoughts of Higher Education are just emerging or fully formed you will find a large range of relevant information within these pages.
