Opportunities and services

This session gives insight into the sorts of services and opportunities universities can provide. We will be joined by current mature students, who will be available to answer questions and share their experience on all thing’s university.

Throughout the session, we will explore Student Support, commuting, networking opportunities, getting involved with wider student life whilst navigating the services and space available. This session lasts 60 minutes and is recorded.

Finance and funding

In this session, we provide attendees with information on how student finance works for UK based mature students entering undergraduate level study. Throughout this session, we will look at funding available from Student Finance England, bursaries provided by universities, scholarships, and additional funding for students with additional responsibilities or life circumstances.

During the session, we will also explore additional support universities can provide, as well as signposting tools to help attendees make sense of their eligibility. This session lasts approximately 60 minutes and is recorded.

Mature student question time

Over to you! In this session, you will have the opportunity to ask questions from UEA’s point of contact for mature students, as well as mature students currently completing degrees. All questions are encouraged, but we will have some examples to hand to get the conversations flowing. This session provides a fantastic opportunity and space for fact finding so mature students can learn more about how a university experience may look ahead of starting their course.

During the session, we will also signpost to additional information that attendees will find useful in mapping out their future educational adventures. This session lasts 60 minutes and is recorded.
