Description
This book explores the unique set of challenges faced by mature-age male undergraduates as they adapt to university study.
The authors examine the motivations of mature male students for enrolling in higher education and their aspirations for life after graduation, in doing so filling a crucial gap in the current literature.
Later access to higher education carries numerous benefits, including improved social mobility: it is therefore paramount to understand why men tend to be underrepresented among mature students.
Exploring the intersections of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, culture and gender, and paying careful attention to the stories of the students themselves, the authors provide a thought-provoking analysis of an underrepresented student group.
The book will be of interest and value to students and scholars of mature-age male students, and aspirations and motivations within higher education more generally.
