This Week! "Being a Mature Student"

Did you know that at 21 you are classed as a 'mature student'?! neither did we!

We speak to student Kelly Stokes, Kelly is in her final year as an Operating Department Practitioner...She is also a mature student. We talk about definitions, struggles, wins, re-defining her own pre-conceptions, being diagnosed with Dyslexia, and comparing her thoughts now, against her first days as a student starting in a class during the height of COVID-19 pandemic. Kelly shares her literature review progress, exploring experiences of being a mature student in higher education, and gives her top-tips to any mature students thinking of, or studying in higher education.
