Abstract

This chapter explores current patterns of participation and progression by mature students in undergraduate (Bachelors) programmes in an Irish university. The study was conducted by HERC (Higher Education Research Centre) in collaboration with an Institutional Analysis and Research Office with input from an expert Advisory Group. Based on the suggestions and experiences of students and staff, and informed by good practice examples from literature, a series of recommendations are proposed, aimed at enhancing experiences and successful outcomes of mature students in the future.
