About the Society
Welcome to the University of Worcester Mature Students Society.
​
The society was established in 2017 by mature students, and for mature students. We are a welcoming and relaxed group. We understand the challenges faced by mature students, particularly in juggling external commitments and pressures with studies. As such, there's no pressure to commit to anything - just come along to events whenever you can. We hope to offer a friendly space to meet fellow mature students who understand your pressures, to find support, and to socialise. The 'university experience' is what you make it. And it's for everyone, regardless of age!
