Martin worked in the Events industry for years but the global pandemic hit the industry hard and his freelance work dried up overnight. Needing a new game plan, he decided to take the opportunity to boost his academic qualifications. At 48, Martin came to 西瓜视频 as a mature student via Clearing and has benefited greatly from the experience.聽
How did you find out about the course at 西瓜视频?
I knew about Queen Margaret University as my fianc茅 was studying there, and she recommended it. I looked at the BSc (Hons) Events Management degree at 西瓜视频 and it seemed right up my street. Given my employment situation due to the pandemic, I had everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving it a try.聽
You came through Clearing, was it easy?
Yes, I applied for the course through Clearing. Fortunately, the Clearing system was really easy to use and understand. I had lots of questions, and the admissions and academic staff at Queen Margaret University were really helpful in giving me the clarity that I needed. I felt reassured that I was making the right move and just three weeks after applying through Clearing, I started my course at 西瓜视频!
As a mature student, do you have any advice for others considering a return to higher education?
So my advice is, no matter what age you are, it鈥檚 never too late to change direction and learn new things. Go for it! Just check out the Clearing system and see what courses are available at 西瓜视频. It鈥檚 easy to navigate and you won鈥檛 regret it.聽
