My role
I'm based within the Student Success Centre and the main focus of my role is supporting our mature student cohort across the University.
Mature students may have had a different journey into higher education, or different wants and needs compared to their younger peers. I work with different areas of the University to try to ensure that our support provisions are as inclusive and welcoming as possible for our mature students.
My areas of focus include:
- Leading on The Mature Student Hub, which provides extracurricular opportunities for all undergraduate mature students.
- Co-leading the Supporting Mature Students: Staff Network. This is a group which brings together staff and students to talk about common challenges and come up with actions to tackle these and work towards a better university for mature students.
- I also speak with mature students as much as possible to understand your experiences and use your feedback to deliver bespoke projects with different courses.
