Access to Higher Education
Access to Higher Education A full Level 3 qualification recognised by UK universities.
Access to Higher Education courses allow students to progress to university degrees after one year of study at College. The Access programme provides you with the relevant knowledge and study skills you’ll need if you’ve been out of education and want to successfully complete a degree course.
These are full Level 3 qualifications recognised by UK universities that allow students over 19 to progress to university-level study. They are legally equivalent to A levels. All of our Access to Higher Education courses are either free or can be financed through the Government’s Advanced Learner Loan but no ‘up front fees’ either way.
Why Study With Us?

Access to HE degrees are equivalent to three A Level qualifications.
Progress into university
Each year, over 40,000 Access to HE students nationally complete their course and transition into university.
Student successes
100% of our Access to HE students get offers from universities and 90% progress into a university the following year.
Advanced Learner Loan
If you take out an Advanced Learner Loan and you then go on to do a degree, the cost is ‘written off’.
