The city of Bristol and my fellow students welcomed me as a mature student from Foundation year onwards. I was encouraged to contribute and made to feel that my academic opinions mattered. The informal and formal networks of care at university meant that I felt supported whilst learning to fly.
Events for prospective mature students
