Studying Arts and Humanities as a Mature Student at Cambridge

Current students talk about what it’s really like studying an arts and humanities subject at the mature colleges. They discuss what they were doing before they came to Cambridge, why they picked the university and how it suits them as a returning learner.

Where is the bar setting at what age one counts as mature? I'm just really curious because guessing the age of participants in this video is not that easy.

21+

[@WolfsonCollegeCam]

Yes, it is anyone aged 21 or over when they start their degree. At Wolfson the average age of our students is 25.

When you say mature? How mature is mature? These all still look like young kids.

There's no upper age limit at Cambridge. We've had students in their 70s and 80s!

Terrible experience. No safeguarding. Only a complaints procedure. Turned into a kangaroo court. Abusive staff and student retained.
