Access to higher education

Our Access to Higher Education (HE) courses are designed to inspire passion in your subject, build your confidence and put you at ease with achieving university-level standards.

Access to HE courses are accepted by UK universities and are an ideal route to university for 19+ students who do not have A Levels or level 3 qualifications in relevant subjects.

Our courses have been designed in consultation with industry and are taught by staff with on-going industry expertise. Our HNC, FdEng and BSc qualifications are recognised internationally as professional qualifications at university level. Employers know that these courses have been designed to provide the most up-to-date skills and knowledge.

Is not having a degree holding you back? Didn’t get the grades you needed at college? If you have never considered university an option but have now decided you’d like to continue your education, then an Access course is for you.

All of your classes will be highly engaging and enable you to be fully involved. You will be assessed by a range of methods including presentations, essays, reports, case studies, short answer tasks, and for some courses, practical work.

All our Access courses are QAA approved and contain 60 credits at level 3.
