Mature Student Taster day

Free one-day college taster offers potential mature students chance to try college life Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) is offering adults considering third level education the chance to sample college life on Wednesday, 12 April 2017. A limited number of spaces are available and the event is free of charge for adults over 22 interested in one of WIT’s 70 CAO courses which start at two-year level 6 Higher Certs and are available full-time and part-time. “We have moved our traditional two-day summer school event to the week before Easter to give prospective mature students time to apply to the CAO before 1 May,” says Conor Phelan, Student Life and Learning Department at WIT. “It’s now run as a one-day event so it’s not too time consuming, while also giving people a realistic taste of college life and an insight to the commitment level required to attend college.” “Mature students can face obstacles, especially if re-entering the system after a prolonged absence from formal education many students studying at the Institute have shown that these can be overcome,” Phelan adds. The one-day event follows a CAO Open evening planned for Tuesday, 4 April, meaning intending mature students have the opportunity to talk to lecturers and students, as well as familiarise themselves with the campus. In addition to a Mature Student Society, a network has also been established for students who are parents. “The return to education can be an intimidating prospect for adults. During the taster session we set out to reassure the participants that their goals are achievable and that there is the support in place to make the transition to higher education as easy as possible” says Phelan. So if you are thinking about returning to education and would like more information on the Mature Student Taster Day please contact us on 051-845513 or e-mail maturestudent@wit.ie.
