How long did that take you?I was 29 when I started a BSc (hons). Part time evenings only.
It was a ball ache doing a full time job then Uni on a night but the time flew by really.

cheers! HNC in electrical and electronic mate.
Glancing through this thread, well done to anyone opting to go back as a mature student.
Due to very personal reasons, I'm going to have to reboot at some stage in the future and this means studying as an older learner. I did the degree thing straight out of school as a lot on here did. But going back as a mature student is something I couldn't imagine. I have it in my head that the student thing (at least undergrad) is something you do as a young'un unless (even when still reasonably young) gone onto postgrad, with the possible exception that work sends you to study on a part time basis.
Two things would really put me off.
1) Being surrounded by 18 to 21 year olds with a different social outlook and cultural context to me.
2) Studying thinking I should at my age be grafting, paying into my pension and how me "going back to school" would seem to other people.
I think I'd have to look at Open University to be honest while doing at least a trivial job. At least I'd be able to look people in the eye and say I was doing extra study while working.
How long did that take you?

Not anymore mate I now work for a engineering company so it's massively different! I miss the time off tho!Aye, I’ll defo be putting a lot more effort in this time like.
Get it done man mate, you’ll regret it. You offshore? I’m sitting in NHV waiting for my flight
At 46 I think I'm just a little to old to do history and then teaching.. not that I've actually looked into timescale tho. And could I put up with the teenagers hahahago for it instead of wishing you did it. there's some pretty good scholarships for teachers as well. my mates wife graduated uni at 44 and she's a teacher now
You could end up teaching for 20+ years....do itAlways fancied doing a degree in history but I don't know what I would do with the qualification! At 46 I think I'm a little old to do something like teaching.. after the years of study is be well into my 50s
Anyone else started back at college when they’re a bit older? I’m 39 and had my first day back today after 18 year haha. I thought I’d be the oldest but there’s a lad a bit older, I’m looking forward to it.
