An Access to Higher Education Diploma will help you develop the study skills and academic knowledge to progress onto a degree level course.
It might be for you if:
- you don’t have traditional qualifications like A levels
- you have possibly been out of education for a while
- you would eventually like to study a course at university
Why do an Access Course?
FLEXIBILITY
- Most courses are designed to fit in with childcare or there are alternative options for study in the evening.
- Most courses are planned over 3 days per week to allow time for part-time work if needed.
- All courses take one year.
VARIETY
- Study a broad range of courses at either Cambridge (CC) or Huntingdon (HC) campuses.
- Around 40,000 people a year in the UK study on Access to Higher Education courses to allow them to progress to further study. A diverse range of people study on Access and there is no upper age limit.
RECOGNITION
- Widely accepted by UK universities.
- A lot of universities actively seek applications from Access learners due to their broader academic study skills and life experiences.
OPPORTUNITIES
- Develop your skills, subject knowledge, and confidence in a supportive and encouraging environment.
- Gain a chance to change your career or progress at work.
- Get into university.
Worried about the costs?
- Aged 19-23 and don’t have full Level 3 qualifications such as A levels: NO TUITION COST.
- Aged 19-23 and have prior qualifications or over 24: you may be eligible for an Adult learner loan- this is currently written off once you get your degree

Access to Humanities
“I would like to thank Debbie, Simon and Julie for setting me on this path, if they hadn’t had faith in me during the early stages I would not be here now.”
Patrick Hamilton
access to social work
“If you are thinking of returning to education, go for it. There are many reasons not to do something, most of which can be overcome.”
Vicky Gois
Access to nursing
“The support was helpful and provided me with a way to address my worries and frustrations. The tutors were nothing less than exceptional and I truly believe that I would not have completed this course without them.
