Mature Students Matter

20 November 2019

During the first Leeds Arts University Research: In Conversation event in our Postgraduate Suite, our mature students and researchers will share a series of short presentations and discussions about their experiences and insights. They explore the many ways in which mature students matter in creative education.

This will be of interest to: mature students, adult learner community groups, researchers, outreach and WP practitioners, FE and HE academic and student support staff.

If you have any queries please contact progression@leeds-art.ac.uk.
