Returning to education as an adult learner
You're considered to be an 'adult learner' if you're applying to university after a break from education, or applying with non-traditional qualifications.
Adult learners often use Clearing to make their first university application.
If that's you - just remember, you're not alone. In fact, adult learners are probably more common than you think. They make up around a quarter of our undergraduate community and are a huge part of life at the University of Bradford.
Our Adult Learner Advisers can offer you free, impartial advice if you're considering applying to university. They can advise you on:
- qualifications
- course options
- how to make your application stand out
- any other questions you have
