Too old to study? With Prof. Dr. Argang Ghadiri
Are you too old to study at 40, 50 or 60? Prof. Dr. Argang Ghadiri (APOLLON University) and hosts Lars Ritter and Nina Leidigkeit discuss studying later in life, work experience as an advantage, and the barriers that are mostly in your head.
What it is about
Are you too old to study at 40, 50 or even 60? It is one of the most common questions among people thinking about a professional or personal next step. In the second episode of Fernstudium Talk, hosts Lars Ritter and Nina Leidigkeit talk with Prof. Dr. Argang Ghadiri, Professor of Corporate Health Management at APOLLON University of Applied Sciences, about studying later in life.
The conversation covers why lifelong learning matters more in a changing world of work, what a later start brings with it, and why work experience is a genuine advantage in a degree programme. It also takes on the questions that keep prospective students up at night: how to combine study with work and family, what role motivation plays, who is less well served by a degree at this stage, and why so many people talk themselves out of the first step.
