As a mature student you may be looking to study again for a number of reasons:

- Returning to work after a break
- Seeking to develop your skills and qualifications
- A fresh start in life
- A new interest or hobby.

If you are interested in part time study for hobbies and interests or gaining professional qualifications, view the Part Time course guide 2012.

If you are considering full time study (including Access to Higher Education courses for those who have few or no formal qualifications but who would like to study at university level) view the Full Time Further Education course guide 2012.

Or you may be interested in higher education (university-level study), in which case you may like to browse the Higher Education prospectus for 2012-13.

For lots more information on higher education, click here to access our new online resource with lots of useful facts, links and advice to inspire you.

With the prospect of increased higher education course fees in 2012 there's never been a better time to enrol. If you're thinking about degree-level study this year, your timing couldn't be better. Click here to view all of our current course guides. 

Please note: From July 2010, students who already have an existing Level 4 qualification will not be eligible to receive funding towards the cost of studying another Level 4 qualification. This is a national ruling, outside of Swindon College's control and means students in this category will be charged the full course cost, not the cost advertised in our course guides.
