So, what did one tired excuse say to the other? “I’m too old for studying”
We say: “Think again”
Home study removes the perceived obstacles of those wishing to study. Studying has no upper or lower age limits, we have all heard it “age is just a number” and this really applies when it comes to studying! Here at Oxbridge we understand that it can sometimes seem like study is only for 18 year olds, those that are fresh out of school and constantly glaring into the screen of the latest technology, but that really isn’t the case. Education has enormous personal and career benefits for people of any age. Study is effectively self improvement and there is no age restrictions on that. Our current student body or list of self-improvers is made up of people of all ages, nationalities and abilities.
