The purpose of this research is to find out the difficulties faced by mature students (aged between 35-55 years) in Dublin, Ireland. Mature students tend to find it difficult to get a job after completing their education as the trend in Dublin is that most companies prefer younger business graduates for the job. However, mature students bring a lot of experience and wisdom with them which the younger graduates lack and businesses in Ireland should give a chance to these mature students as they may significantly increase the performance of any organization with their experience and polished skills. The research aimed to find out the main motives of a mature student to continue education at a mature age and what difficulties might hinder their chances of getting a position in college. Another aim was to find out what these mature students want after completing their education. The results of the research indicated that more than 90% of the mature business graduates were currently employed in Dublin. They want to get third-level education with the aim of developing and progressing in their career. The main intention for these students be it male or female, is to achieve a promotion in their current organization. They believe getting a qualification would increase their chances to secure a managerial or authoritative position in their organization and as a result, they will be able to earn more and improve their financial concern. The results also indicated that most of mature people are unable to get a position in college or don’t join college because they cannot give enough time and commitment to their studies.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
In Ireland, a student is regarded as a mature student if they are enrolled into a higher institution of learning aged 23 and above in the year in which they registered to start their learning. The hypothesis of this paper is that most Mature Business Students in Dublin (preferably between 35-55 years old) find it harder to progress in their careers after obtaining their qualification due to companies’ preference to employ younger graduates.
According to research by the Higher Education Authority (2016), there 222, 618 students enrolled across all universities, colleges, and institutes of technology in 2016 with 54% enrolling in universities, 40% in technology institutes, and 6% enrolled in colleges. Up to 81% of all total enrolments were full-time, 17% part-time, and 6% remote. The total number of full-time undergraduate new entrants in 2016 was 43, 460, with 10% of this number classified as mature students. Most undergraduate mature students in Ireland tend to be on part-time rather than full-time courses, and in fact makeup 85% of part-time undergraduate new entrants.
While there is currently no recent recorded data or statistics on the career destinations of mature business graduates in Ireland, this paper will piece together a true picture of the employability of mature graduates in Ireland based on existing research as well as original primary research.
