Access to HE Diploma courses are for students aged 19+ by 31st August in the year in which they start the Access programme.
You must have GCSE qualifications at grade 9-5/4 (A*-C) in English, Maths and Science as these qualifications usually form part of the entry requirements for the degree courses that you’ll progress to.
We recommend finding relevant work experience in either voluntary or paid employment to support your UCAS application. Universities often expect students to have some work experience before they start a course, however this is not compulsory.
Although the Access to Higher Education courses are most suitable for ages 19+, they may also be available for 16- 18 learners with funding.
