Personally when looking at a mature student's application, I'm primarily looking to answer the questions "are they doing this for the right reasons?", "are they sufficiently motivated?" and "do they have the academic ability to achieve well?" References are usually far less revealing than a personal statement/candidate interview. applications are made direct to the university (i.e., not via UCAS). ![]() They all essentially say the same thing with about the same platitudes.

No need to give them your grades they (presumably) never taught you, so no point them trying to comment on how you did in history in 1981 that information is on your application regardless. As long as your case is clearly explained in your application, Im sure itll work out great. Normally, its a teacher who writes the reference, but I know universities are very comprehensive with student who had problems or disabilities.
