If you don’t have traditional qualifications, our Access to Higher Education (HE) courses are the ideal route to help get you one step closer to taking on a degree. Access courses are ideal for those wanting to study at a university level, but need an additional year of preparation before applying for a degree.
This popular daytime course, designed for adults (ages 19+) will prepare you for a career in Nursing or Midwifery. These industries continually recruit new professionals, and demand for professionals with these skills is currently high, so no better time to upskill or consider a career change.

What do our students say?
“Access to HE was a great start in the direction I want to head, that provided me with more confidence and so much support with my learning. Plus, it’s a course for absolutely anyone! That’s what I was always so nervous about, but it was so refreshing meeting everyone.”
“Access to HE was a stepping stome to getting into Uni, it was the last shot I had. The positive impacts were meeting people with similar interests at different stages of their lives. I also feel as though the course has prepared me very well for University because it was structured like a university course. There is nothing I would do differently, as I gave it my ‘best shot’ and I am where I want to be.”
