Whether you’re looking to start a new career or advance within your current field, our courses in Business, Law, Social Science, Nursing and Midwifery, Allied Health Professions and Education and Computing provide the perfect foundation. Taught by experienced tutors who understand the needs of adult learners, our Access to HE programmes equip you with the skills and experience needed to move forward in your chosen pathway.

Applicants should have GCSE English and Maths at grade 4 (C) or above, or Level 2 Functional Skills in these subjects.
If you do not yet meet these requirements, some subjects offer a Pre-Access course, which typically requires GCSE English and Maths at grade 3 (D) or above, or Level 1.
Please note that Pre-Access courses are not available for all subjects.
You could go into any number of careers afterwards. Take a look at our Personal Learning subject areas and Adult Apprenticeships we offer.
