Access To HE Sciences

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.

You will choose from a number of optional modules that vary according to your specific pathway. 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.

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.
