Do you have dreams of going to university, but don't quite have the qualifications to get in?
With start dates that are offered all year round our online Access to Higher Education diplomas are the perfect solution to helping you get the grades AND the study skills you need.
The beauty of our online courses is that they are self-directed, meaning you can study at home whenever you have some spare time. It fits perfectly around your work and adult life commitments - we know there can be a few.
You'll be assigned a subject specialist team of academic assessors, so you won't be left on your own to figure it all out. These assessors will guide you in the right direction and provide feedback on your assignments. Additionally, the support staff, are available to offer further advice and assistance.
As you get towards the end of your course, we'll be able to give you tips and support with your university application and help make that dream a reality.
The Access to Higher Education (HE) Diploma is a qualification, equivalent to A level, which allows students to go on and study higher education courses including bachelor's degrees, foundation degrees, higher national certificates and diplomas (HNC/HND) and higher degree apprenticeships. Access to HE courses are available in a wide range of different subjects and are widely recognised by UK universities and higher education institutions.
Due to limitations with funding, our online Access to HE Diplomas are only available to those who are aged 19 or older on the 31st of August 2026.

Jobs you could do
What you could study next
This Diploma is designed to take you into higher education. Most learners go on to apply for a BEng or MEng in Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical Engineering. Foundation degrees and HNC/HND programmes in Engineering are also a strong next step, particularly if you want a shorter route into technical roles. Some universities offer degree apprenticeships, which combine work with degree-level study.
