This is what it's like to go to university as a mature student
From freshers’ nerves to keeping up with the technology, three older students share their experiences

After going through a divorce, Ella McManus, 36, decided to leave a minimum-wage job and study a degree in business at Nottingham Trent University while looking after her three children. Since graduating, McManus has launched her own sustainability business and broken out of what she calls the “single-parent poverty trap”.

When I started university I was nervous about being older and not fitting in. But it all depends on your personality – you can ostracise yourself, or you can decide to blend in. You’re all students on the same course after all. I found that doing a degree as a mature student is not as scary as it seems – you’ve got world experience and wisdom on your side.
People say the social life is the best part about university, but for me it was the learning. Looking behind the scenes at business, understanding the theory: I loved it all. The hardest part was fitting the work around my family. My children had to make sacrifices too – I wasn’t around as much and we didn’t have much money. I discovered half way through my degree that my son has Asperger’s syndrome and I had to defer my studies for a year to get him the help he needs.
The experience has made me more confident. Before I went to university I was looking at minimum-wage jobs on zero-hour contracts. Without my degree, I wouldn’t have been able to escape the poverty trap that so many single parents fall into.

The cost of tuition puts people off, but it’s worth it. It’s no more of an investment than buying a house but can be far more financially beneficial.

As an older student you definitely appreciate the education more. Young people often feel pressured to go to university by their teachers or parents – as a mature student, you’re there because you want to be.
After retiring from a career in banking, Stephen Keane, 66, decided to study a degree in history at the University of Hull. Since graduating, Keane is looking to work as a volunteer in local museums.
I wanted to keep my brain active after retiring. I’ve always been interested in history, so I self-taught an A-level and then sat the exam at our local school. When I went to get my certificate the teacher said: “It’s quite remarkable you passed the exam without any teaching”. He talked about university and it sparked my interest.
I felt intimidated when I started the course. I thought I would flounder, surrounded by young people with A* grades. At first I did struggle a bit with essays but my tutors explained it to me and after that the whole university experience became enjoyable – the learning, the lecturers, interacting with younger people. I always thought students were there for a jolly but I soon learned that it’s harder than it looks.
The benefit of studying as a mature student is that you gain confidence. It’s a fantastic experience – you are assessed by experts in your field, so you learn so much. Now I would like to put my knowledge to good use: volunteering in local museums and encouraging other mature students to go to university. My advice to potential students would be: pick a subject that you’re interested in and don’t be intimidated.
After being made redundant, Kathy Ayers, 51, decided to change career and study a master’s in software development at Queen’s University Belfast. Since graduating, Ayers has taken a job in computing.
I had been unhappy at work for years and was signed off with depression. Two months later I was told that my team was being restructured and my job was going. I could have taken another role but I wanted to try something completely different – like computer programming.
My husband thought I was crazy. I was really nervous about studying software development as a mature student – it’s not a field known for diversity – and my daughter is turning 18, so the students were much closer in age to my children.
The hardest part of the course was how much technology I had to get to grips with. When I finished my undergraduate degree in 1998 everything was paper-based. Now all the reading materials are online. The students shared reading using PDFs, apps, Facebook groups – and I had no clue how to keep up. I didn’t work out how to use the library printers until second term.
I discovered that a lot of it comes down to confidence. I still had that terror that if I pressed the wrong key it would delete everything. But compared to the younger students I had so much more self-confidence. After two decades of working, I didn’t have a problem with things like leading group presentations.
I wish I had been braver and done this sooner. I enjoyed university so much and I’m happier now. I was offered my first tech job before Christmas – so the plan for a new career worked. I hope I’ve shown my daughter what people can do. Life is short. You should always do something that challenges you.
And my student friends didn’t actually mind hanging out with someone older than their mothers.
