Get your qualifications for university
If you’re planning a new career and need a degree to move forward, our Access courses could help you find the path to success. If you don’t already have the qualifications to get a place at university, our one-year Access courses will give you the introductory knowledge you need and help bring your academic skills up to the required level.
These one-year courses are an intensive but supportive route to gaining the academic skills and introductory knowledge needed for university. To enrol, you’ll need GCSE English and maths Grade C/4 or above or Functional Skills Level 2. If you only have English or Maths you can complete the other at the same time.
