Of course this is only anecdotal (and probably not 1:1 applicable as I live in Switzerland), but I studied together with a couple people who finished in their 40s and 50s. Around half of them now work as architects, some wound up in adjacent fields and one is currently trying to get her own office going.

I've worked in architecture (although not an architect) for 15 years, and we get Part 1s and 2s of all ages. Admittedly, Part 1s do tend to be younger, but mature students aren't unheard of.

@Roosterrun
Has anyone gone back to study architecture as a mature student? It’s something I’ve always been interested in but I’ve been working as a designer for the last 20 odd years.
Having (a lot of) downtime this year has made me think about a last chance change of plans. I may have to do a foundation course to even get started and I’d be in my 50s(!) by the time the full degree ended.
Would I even be employable at the end of it?
