DEGREES & HIGHER EDUCATION
UPDATE YOUR QUALIFICATIONS TO STUDY A DEGREE.
Our Access to Higher Education courses are an excellent route to university.
The courses are structured to fit around your commitments outside of college and will help you develop all the study skills you need to study for a degree.
Our courses have outstanding success rates and are very well respected by universities, both locally and nationally. Because these courses are designed to give you the grades to get into university, you don’t necessarily need any formal qualifications or experience to join them. But many university degree courses will require GCSE Maths and English at grade 4 (C) or above, in addition to the Access Diploma. We recommend that you have, or you are able to gain, GCSEs before you join the Access course.
