Access to Higher
Education

If you’ve always wanted to study for a degree, but don’t have the relevant entry qualifications, University Studies can offer you an Access to Higher Education course.

Access to Higher Education courses prepare you for further study and give you the entry qualification you need to apply for a degree.

There are a wide range of Access to Higher Education courses which are for anyone over the age of 19 and can be studied part-time or full-time.

Students benefit from committed lecturers, small class sizes, a supported learning environment and cutting-edge teaching facilities. This makes University Studies a great choice for people looking to work towards a degree or further your education without the cost of moving away from home.

All our Access Diplomas are awarded under the Cambridge Access Validating Agency (CAVA).
