Hear from current mature students and get tips on applying to DkIT and life as a mature student.

Did you know that DkIT reserves a minimum of 20% of places on courses for mature applicants? This is just one of the reasons that makes our campus so diverse and a great place to learn as a mature applicant.

Watch our webinar which will give you the information you need to apply as a mature applicant in 2021. Our Access Officer will talk you through the mature application process and provide some useful hints and tips on completing your CAO applications.

Listen to different perspectives from current students and recent graduates who applied via the mature applicant route. Hear their unique stories and learn about their motivations for returning to education. Get insider tips on settling into student life and getting to the most out of your DkIT experience.
