Abstract
Profiles the experiences of a group of mature women entering higher education for the first time in the UK. Considers the reason for motivation and the practical issues with which they are confronted as they combine their studies with their other roles. Investigates the experiences of higher education institutions, the attitudes and approaches of the staff teaching them and their relationships with their fellow students. Assesses the outcomes against their expectations.
