What does 'mature age student' mean?

If you have not completed VCE, or completed VCE some years ago, or had started university studies previously but not finished, you would be termed ‘mature-age’ or non-year 12 applicants.

Applications from mature age students are assessed using a range of criteria including your life experience, working and volunteer experience, and the further study and training you may have completed. If you are not sure about about getting started, explore the How to Apply information which will help with preparing your application and to understand if there are additional application requirements.
