Access to Higher Education

If you would like to study at university, but lack the formal qualifications our Access to Higher Education courses can prepare you for higher-level study at university or college. They are designed for anyone who would like to study for a higher education qualification but don’t have the formal qualifications, wish to change career, or need to develop their study skills.

 

We have Access to HE courses starting this January including a Fast-Track Pre-Access to HE running January to July.
