Passed: 
Union Council, 3 June 2014

The following amendment proposes to decrease the qualifying age for the Mature and Part-time Students’ Officer to 24 for postgraduate students. Given that undergraduate studies in the UK last for 3 years, undergraduate students starting their degree at the age of 21 would be able to qualify for the post during their undergraduate studies. However, they would not be eligible for the post if they embark on the latter course right after their undergraduate degree.
