19+ Adult Learners

The School of Earth and Environment welcomes applications from mature applicants (over 19 at the time of entry to the University). Mature applicants receive individual consideration, taking account of existing academic qualifications, relevant experience in the workplace or elsewhere, personal motivation for study, etc. Prospective applicants are invited to contact the Undergraduate Admissions Administrator for advice and guidance before submitting their application to UCAS. No final decision can be made regarding the offer of a place until the School’s admissions staff have been able to study the UCAS application form. Mature applicants are normally invited to attend for interview as part of the selection process, and may also be required to produce a written piece of work, particularly where a significant period of time has elapsed since their last period of formal academic study.

Additional support for mature students is available through the University’s Lifelong Learning Centre (LLC). This support includes pre-entry advice and guidance for adults, matriculation tests, alternative entry schemes, preparatory programmes for adults, development of academic skills before entry and information on a range of issues relevant to such applicants.
