Mature Students on Degree Programmes

UCD is aware that entering university can be a big change in life and lifestyle for many mature students. Mature students often juggle many roles including parent, spouse/partner and worker, along with their new role as a student.

• Pre-enrolment Writing Clinics
• Mature Student Orientation Day
• Academic and personal advising
• One on one support
• Financial and resource referrals
• Close links with UCD’s Mature Student Society
