Access To HE Business

Overview

Access to HE is specifically designed for adults who have been out of formal education for some time, but want to enter university-level courses.

Description

You will study a number of different modules which will be made up of mandatory and optional subjects. You will also undertake a number of core academic subjects that are designed to prepare you for the demands of higher level study. These are common to all Access pathways, with an emphasis on critical thinking, the techniques of written and spoken presentation, research skills, maths and IT.

How long is the course?

Our Access to HE courses can be studied within one academic year - approximately 500 hours of classtime. You'll study full-time, which will require you to attend between 12-15 hours of class per week on various days.

You will be assessed on the assignments which are set regularly throughout the course. Some of these assignments will be completed under exam conditions but most will be completed in your own time.
