Wondering about support and student life as a mature student?

Here’s what Jax, a BSc (Hons) Mental Health Nursing student shared around their experience!

“There’s a lot of support for mature students coming to Solent – such as a group set up specifically for mature students to meet and build connections, as well as a buddy travel app where you can meet friends and travel in together. I feel like I’m treated the same way as all other students too, which is great.”

In September 2024, we hosted our inaugural Leadership Insight event, Reimagining the World of Work. Valued panellists explored the critical role of leadership in shaping the future.

Dr. Nara Ringrose, FCIPD, FCMI, CHRE, Head of People & Organisational Development at Cyclife Aquila Nuclear, Panellist, shared this insightful reflection:

“I was honoured to be part of the panel at the first Solent University Leadership Insight. Nowadays, it is critical for leaders to know why leadership matters. It is time we realise the importance of leadership insights between attributes and results. Sharing our knowledge and experience was great, and the power of listening to experts and participants was enriching. We must learn from each other and turn our aspirations into actions. Thank you, Solent University, for launching this initiative; leadership sustainability begins with collective effort.”
