Fast track to Higher Education:

Prepare, Focus, Progress.

Our Access to Higher Education courses are ideal for those who have taken a break from their education or are thinking of a new pathway in their studies.

The range of courses below are delivered over a period of one academic year. They provide an intensive overview of the subject alongside skills preparation for progression onto university or other Higher Education. The qualification gained pursuing this route contributes towards UCAS points in the same way as studying three A-levels or equivalent.

Access courses are taught over two or three days a week so it’s a great option for those in employment alongside their education.

Healthcare Professions

The Student Perspective

The thing I like the most about doing the Access course is the challenge to myself to do well academically. I was most nervous about coming on the Access course because of the assignments. However, I proved myself wrong time and time again and with the support of the tutors and my fellow students I'm actually doing really well on the Access course and it's a nice feeling to prove that I can do it.
