Access to University

If you'd like to start a university-level course, but don't have the UCAS points (such as A Levels or BTEC) you can study the Access to University (HE) course first which is a qualification which prepares students for study at degree level and is the equivalent UCAS points as three A Levels / BTEC.

Successful students achieve a full Level 3 qualification, enabling them to progress to study a Higher Education course at university or college. It is an intensive course, typically run over one year, for students aged 19 and over and especially intended for students returning to education. The courses have been designed to complement those with work and family commitments.
