Hi,

In order to qualify as a mature student, you must be at least 23 on 1st January of the year of proposed entry.

So, if you intend applying this September, you should have reached your 23rd birthday by 1st January 2009.

In your case, if you are 23 only after the 1st January 2010 – in April, this unfortunately is too late (sorry, not sure how that sounds!)

So you will have to apply between November 2010 and 1st February 2011 for a place in September 2011.

I hope this helps.
