All applicants will require a GCSE Grade C or 4 and above in English or Maths and Science, and a knowledge of the universities and courses they would like to progress to.Some universities will accept functional skills in English and Maths, so depending on your university or course this may be acceptable. There may be the opportunity to study English or Maths alongside this course.Students looking to study degrees in any health, social care or education subject will require experience in a relevant area (either through work or volunteering).
The workload on the Access to HE course is high, and it is essential learners are fully prepared for this intense way to study.

This process will begin on the first day of your course.

Individuals who have previously applied for a loan but have not completed the course should check their eligibility for additional financial support before enrolling on this course.
