mature student (university) access course


Explanation:
Mature students, by definition, in the UK are over as little as 21! The implication is that the prospective student has decided to start studying again after a break from studying (but not just a gap year). Don't think it's necessary to specify the age, since it's a question of mature students having a different entry route into higher education.

"The definition of a mature student

You will be defined as a mature student if you are aged 21 or over at the start of your course (20 or over in Scotland). Mature students decide to study for many different reasons, including improved job prospects, making a fresh start or purely for interest in their subject.
