Mature Students
At Manchester Metropolitan University 14% of our full time undergraduates are mature (over 21) when they start their degree.

We recognise mature students may have different support needs from a typical school/college leaver, and many will have additional responsibilities outside of their course.
We therefore want to ensure you can access the financial, pastoral, and wellbeing support you need to help you make a success of your university experience.
