Being a Mature Student

It doesn't matter what you've been doing since you were 16. Whatever it was, it will have made you a more rounded person and it is never too late to learn!

You may feel excited or slightly anxious at the prospect of returning to tertiary education. Take comfort, as here are some ways Waiariki Instittute of Technology supports our mature students:
