I was 53 when I started my first degree, 3 years for a Masters #Degree in IT Management (not with #TheOU ) and way older that almost all of the tutors.
I was not surprised that it was not too intellectually challenging, the idea of prior learning by experience and all that. But I was surprised by the amount of work they expected from me.
Worth doing. though I never worked in IT Management afterwards!
