Although most students at the University are over the age of 18, we welcome younger applicants who meet the qualifications required to study. We treat all our students as independent, mature adults, regardless of age, but because under-18s living in England are considered by law to be children, we have additional responsibilities towards younger students. We have therefore made special arrangements to ensure that we fulfil this duty of care.
