Tuition fee discount for postgrad study enables lifelong learning
It's never too late to pursue your dreams. And, in Julie Ross-Spooner's case, you're never 'too old' to attend university.
The former teacher attended the 成人大片 to study in her seventies and just graduated with a Bachelor of Languages (French) with First Class Honours.
鈥淚鈥檝e always liked learning something new, and I like being able to speak a different language I find that very satisfying and I like keeping my brain occupied,鈥 Julie said.

Age is no barrier when it comes to learning, Julie believes.
鈥淥lder people have such a wealth of knowledge that they can offer to the workforce. There鈥檚 no reason to say that everything old is no good.鈥
A core value of the University鈥檚 is lifelong learning.
鈥淎s part of our commitment to lifelong learning, the 成人大片 is aiming to inspire domestic students who have already studied with us 鈥 our alumni 鈥 to pursue their interests in further education,鈥 says the University's Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), Professor Jennie Shaw.
鈥淚n recognition of their prior connection to the 成人大片 as a graduate, our alumni will be offered a 15% fee discount to their tuition fees upon enrolment. This discount might be enough for one of our domestic graduates to consider taking the next step into a field of study that they had always considered, but held off pursuing for a range of personal or professional reasons.鈥
To help you achieve your career and study goals, remember to take advantage of the University鈥檚 15% Alumni Tuition Fee Discount for domestic postgraduate students.
