SECTION 5 Access/Foundation Courses have been established in a number of institutions to prepare mature students for the challenges of third level education. These pre-entry courses can be full time or parttime, depending on your requirements. Some access/foundation courses prepare you for specific courses such as science, commerce or engineering while others provide a more general preparation for courses in arts and social sciences. My name is Susan Kelly. I left school after my Intermediate certificate which was not unusual for that time and after finishing a secretarial course worked for the next 13 years in administration. After having two children, I decided to re-train. I applied for a place on a Return to Education two year parttime course in Inchicore College of Further Education. It was during my time in Inchicore College I heard about the Trinity Access Programme. I applied and was lucky enough to secure a place. I then applied for a place on the Sociology and Social Policy degree course and was accepted. I found my first year in Trinity a little overwhelming but the other mature students were a great support to me. I passed all my exams and continued on to my second year. I feel as a mature student I need a great deal of support from college and family as it is difficult to juggle student life and home life. There can also be the financial strain of only one income in a household. On a positive note my overall experience in Trinity College has been good. I have learned quite a bit about myself as well as the subjects I am studying. If someone was to ask my advice about returning to college as a mature student I would definitely recommend it but I would also stress the huge amount of commitment and motivation needed.
