Introduction
A Recognised Route to University
The Access Diploma is specifically designed for people aged 19 years and over who want to progress onto university level study. Perhaps you’ve taken a break from education due to other commitments but have always wanted to gain the qualifications you missed at school, or maybe you’ve discovered that the career you want requires university level qualifications. Whatever your situation, the Access Diploma offers you a second opportunity to gain a qualification that could open the doors to university for you.
