What students and graduates say

 

 

 

“Thirty years ago, when I was doing my Bachelor of Education, I noticed an older woman in class next to me and I thought, what is she doing in university at her age? Now I understand. Life is a journey and it is about learning. Give it a chance. Start with one course. I actually think you’ll like it.”

Helen Guenther
