Access to Higher Education

What Makes Us Different:

  • University Pathways for Adults
    Access to Higher Education Diplomas are Level 3 qualifications designed for adult learners who want to progress to university—without needing traditional A-Levels.
  • Flexible Study Options
    Alongside your Access Diploma, you can study Level 2 qualifications like GCSEs to build a strong academic foundation. The full-time route takes one year in college, supported by independent study.
  • Focused on Your Future
    Every Access Diploma carries 60 credits, with 45 graded at Pass, Merit or Distinction. Universities will guide you on the grades they require—so you’ll know exactly what to aim for.

You’ll study over one year, combining classroom learning with independent study. If you need GCSEs to support your journey, we’ve got you covered.
