Empowering students to achieve their educational goals. 

Every lecturer wants their students to succeed.

But, especially when it comes to studying as a mature student, things can get in the way.

WOMANA was founded by women who completed degrees whilst raising children, looking after the family and balancing study with daily life.

Through our talks, workshops and mentoring programmes, we empower students to get the most from their university experience.

Student reviews

"As a university student juggling a part-time job and family obligations, I often felt overwhelmed and stressed. However, after attending Womana's speech on balancing work, home, and study life, I felt inspired and motivated to find a healthy balance. Her practical tips and personal anecdotes were relatable and gave me the confidence to prioritize my responsibilities effectively. Thank you, Womana!"

"As a university student trying to juggle a full-time job and family obligations, I would often found myself thinking  'what am  I doing at university'. I felt like giving up and just do my full-time job and pay the bills. But this was not what I really want for myself. I have always wanted to be a primary school teacher, but didn't feel I had the capacity to do over the years. However, after attending Womana's speech on balancing work, home, and study life, I felt like I was now mentally  equipped to do my studies, and ready to face university life. They inspired and motivated me to find a healthy balance and now I am ready for the next chapter of my life. WOMANA offers practical tips and personal experiences, were relatable and effective. Thank you, WOMANA!"

" Most university students' are now needing to work either  part-time or fulltime, and manage family commitment, I was finding this way of life overwhelming and very stressful.  However, after attending Womana's speech on balancing work, home, and study life, and hearing the personal education journeys of their members, I felt inspired and motivated to continue my studies. Their practical tips and personal experiences were relatable and gave me the confidence to prioritise my responsibilities effectively. Thank you, WOMANA! "
