Our Access to HE Diploma courses are accredited by the Open College Network (London Region). Some of our courses are validated by these universities and our students can access their scholarship programmes and resources.

These courses are designed for adults, who have previously missed opportunities to gain academic qualifications, so you do not need specific qualifications to get onto a course. However, you must be 19 years or over and committed to studying intensively. You must also demonstrate aptitude for this level of study by gaining satisfactory results in entry tests in literacy and, where relevant, numeracy. Access to HE courses equip students with high levels of motivation to move on to further study at university level and the College is proud of the many students who have succeeded in winning places at university – some with scholarships - after following this learning route.

Access to HE courses are equivalent to a Level 3 course like A-levels and BTEC Level 3.
