Back at uni after a break? Our new free ebook is here to help!
Returning to study after a few years, or even a few decades?
You might be thinking:
‘When I last studied, we didn’t have to do everything online. I’m struggling to keep up with all these systems… and now there’s GenAI too!’
If that sounds familiar, University at Any Age, the Library’s latest Open Educational Resource (OER) ebook, has been created for you.
Starting university after a long break can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. The good news is that the skills, knowledge and life experience you’ve gained along the way can help set you up for success.
Designed with mature-aged students in mind, but useful for anyone at any age, University at Any Age offers practical guidance for returning to higher education with confidence.

Inside the ebook you’ll learn how to:
- balance study with work, family and other commitments
- understand university expectations
- develop effective study strategies
- navigate online learning technologies and systems
- avoid common challenges and setbacks.
