Not all students begin university at 18; in fact, choosing to pursue a degree later in adulthood can bring clarity, purpose, and a powerful sense of direction shaped by real-life experience. This was the case for one of our mature students Abi, who decided to study Liberal Arts at Warwick after realising her passion for the humanities in her mid-twenties.

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 13:37:00 GMT

Frances joined our first ever cohort of Liberal Arts students in 2016, and her final dissertation on improving sustainability in healthcare helped towards securing her role as a Net Zero Strategy Analyst for NHS England. We caught up with Frances to recount more of her experiences as an undergraduate, and how she believes a 2,000-year-old discipline like Liberal Arts is still relevant for helping students develop skills sought out by modern employers.
