Abstract

This report presents evidence on the transitions of UK domiciled mature students (those aged over 25 on entry) into full-time and part-time postgraduate taught study. It examines: their profile and participation; motivations to study; pre-entry activities (in the years between undergraduate study and postgraduate entry); sources of funding; and barriers and challenges faced in taking up study at this level.
