The University of Manchester welcomes people of all ages to its courses, and is committed to extending opportunities to adults returning to study. These are some of our most well-equipped learners, bringing with them a number of skills and attributes gained from work, family and other life experiences.
The University has a large and diverse population of students and around one in five of these is over the age of 21 at the start of their course. They come from a whole array of backgrounds, study every kind of course, undertake full-time and part-time learning and are motivated by career intentions as well as personal interest; there is no such thing as a typical adult returning to education. Adults returning to education who choose to study here have access to a welcoming and challenging learning environment with first-class facilities and employment prospects.
The application process for adults returning to education is the same as for other prospective undergraduates:
