Access to HE

Past students generally progress to universities including Cumbria, UCLan, Lancaster, Manchester, Leeds, York, Exeter, Newcastle or Sheffield. They study a variety of degrees, such as nursing, midwifery, occupational therapy, radiography, social work, youth and community work, teaching, history, sociology, law, psychology, biomedical sciences or sports therapy.

The Access Diploma is specifically designed for people aged 19 years and over who want to progress onto university. 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 the opportunity to gain a qualification that could open the doors to university for you.

Victoria Bond, Head of Access to Higher Education

The Access course was challenging, creative and interesting. All of the tutors were so passionate about their subjects which provided an excellent level of teaching. 

It is so refreshing to be taught with such passion and to be valued as an individual. The Access course taught me that we all can learn from everyone from all backgrounds and that is truly inspiring.
