Access to Higher Education Diplomas

If you don't have A level qualifications this doesn't mean you can't progress and go on to study for a degree. Our access courses are open to adults without formal qualifications and are accepted by most universities for entry onto undergraduate degree courses. Financial support is available and we can advise you on how to apply and access funding.

Short courses

We offer a range of short courses throughout the year, across a range of subjects and interests, to give you a taste of going back to learning or to develop a new skill.

Short courses may be free of charge if you are eligible under the Pound Plus and Fee Remittance Policy. For those not eligible there is a course fee of £25.

You can still join a course after the start date if there are places available.
