Oh do shut up! Just joking, obviously. Do the degree; further education is ace.

Has anyone here taken up study (full time degree) in their 30s+ . How did you find juggling the study alongside family / work etc, etc. Any advice or tips? You've got Greenwich on your doorstep, which is very good and only falls down the league tables due to the quality of its research - but I know people who've been recently and rate it very highly.

I graduated with a Master's in July. I am 48 next birthday, and I enjoyed doing it. It becomes a big part of your life and I miss the studying after doing my dissertation in February. I start my PhD next month.

I did a Masters, it was bloody hard work to juggle the Job, the coursework itself as well as a Child...well worth it though; even if it was just to prove to myself (who left school with essentially nothing) that I had it in me.

I did a BA(ed)that finished when I was 33. My first born arrived halfway through the course. Being a student actually allowed me more family time although it would have been more difficult now with 3 older kids.

Thankyou. Some good advice there. I am already familiar with the Harvard system of referencing from previous study. My long term intention is to apply to the met police as part of their graduate scheme . The law and legal system is my passion and my calling. The fire which burns inside if you like. In addition to this, almost an aside, is the example it will set to my children. Seeing me study and work hard will, I hope, encourage and drive them on in their own education. Oooh I just did an Introduction to Law as part of my OU Criminology and Psychology degree. Its not quite my thing, but I must admit I enjoyed it much more than I thought - It was a bit dry learning about all the legal authorities and structures and how they hang together, but I was fascinated in the second half of the course when we got into things like Jurisprudence, Criminal Justice, Appeal courts and Sentencing etc. Quite enjoyed it - I think in study you have to do something you want or thrills you.

Some schools have been known to pay for courses if you commit for a certain number of years.
