Calvin Asks: Any tips for a mature student?

CalvinTheEngineer
For a few years now I have been thinking about doing a degree in Biomedical Engineering. I already work in the field, but my lack of degree is making it harder to move onwards and upwards in my career. My employer is a small company and can’t (i.e. won't) help with financing so I would have to fund this myself, making it a huge investment.


Do you have any tips for a mature (ish) student about to take this big step?

    • be consistent
