Can You Go to University Without A Levels? Your Guide as a Mature Student
Many people believe that going to university requires A Levels or traditional school qualifications. This is simply not true — especially for adult and mature learners in the UK.
Universities across the UK welcome students of all ages and backgrounds. If you left school without qualifications, or if your qualifications are from a different country, there are several alternative pathways available to you.
Access to Higher Education (Access to HE) diplomas are specifically designed for adults who want to return to education. Completing an Access course can qualify you for a full degree programme at many UK universities.
Prior learning and work experience can also count towards your application. Many universities consider what you have done professionally when assessing mature student applications.
Age is no barrier either. Whether you are 25, 35, or 55, UK universities actively support mature students with flexible study options, including part-time and blended learning.
Student Finance England is also available to most eligible mature students, meaning funding should not be a reason to hold back.
