In the penultimate episode of Stemettes Say What?, Head Stemette and CEO Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon and co-host Lauryn Mwale continue to ask the important questions. This week, they spoke to Professor Sue Black OBE and asked her: what are the benefits of being a mature student?
Sue is a Professor of Computer Science at Durham University. Life-long learning is the theme of the day, and Professor Black gets deep and shares her personal story about her journey in education. The topics covered in this episode include applying for courses, loans, accommodation, ageism, work-life balance and much more!
