Who this course is for

If you're thinking about going to university but need a way to get there, our Access to Higher Education courses are designed to help adults take that next step. You'll develop the skills and confidence needed for degree-level study, all within a supportive and flexible learning environment. An Access course gives you the points you need for university - it's the equivalent of 3 A Levels. If you are aged between 19 and 23 and don't have a full Level 3 qualification, you will be able to study Access for free!

Entry requirements

There is an interview for the Health Professions course and some screening tests. It is desirable that you have a Level 2 in Maths and English - this can be Functional Skills or GCSE grade 4/C or higher. If you have not achieved Maths or English, you will need to study these alongside your course. You can apply for an Advanced Learner Loan to cover your course fees, and you may qualify for support with your course costs e.g. stationery and meals. You will also get free support with childcare.
