Mature Aged Student
Congratulations on making the decision to enrol at the University of Newcastle!
As a mature aged student, entering into University studies should be seen as an important milestone in your education. We understand that coping with University life can be both exciting and daunting, however you bring many valuable skills and life experiences to your University studies. At the same time, it can be difficult to maintain a quality work, study and family balance when undertaking your degree.
The Connect 2 Success (C2S) program is your support at the University! C2S can help to provide advice and avenues of support on overcoming any issues you experience as a student.
Research also suggests that students who actively connect with university life have a better chance of success with their studies. Whether it is attending social activities, joining online communities or study groups – connecting with the university can help you feel like you are part of a community, which seems to lead to better academic performance.
You are a student, and therefore you do have the capability and drive to succeed in a University learning environment. With a few learned skills and support services we can help take you along the path to success at University.
