June open days
Learn more about returning to education at our upcoming open days on 16 and 17 June.
We'll be hosting specific sessions for mature students to provide advice on applying, funding and support, and you can drop in to the mature students' lounge to chat to staff and current students about their experiences.
If you're unable to attend one of the open days, we run information sessions for mature students online throughout the year.
