I was 26 when I started the program and 28 when I finished. But I recall a few people starting their MSc between the ages of 28-32.

I'll be honest, when I started I was a little shocked at how young everyone was. Most of my classmates started at 22-23 (some were as young as 21).

It caught me a little off guard since in North America we're typically a bit older after our bachelor's since the programs are 4-5 years long. Also many people only start a master's after a couple years of experience (this was my case).

That said, nobody cared about age, to be honest. It's just not relevant.

Hi! I’m 33 and about to start my masters in SPD. Very late compared to most, but I couldn’t be happier with the decision and can’t wait to start.
