Immediate entry to the one-year Level 3 Access to HE Diploma offers students who have already attained sufficient GCSE qualifications the quickest route to university. Usually this means students must have attained 4 GCSEs grade A-C/9-4, including English and Maths. Science is usually required for health related courses.
Our humanities pathways offer students a route into a variety of Higher Education courses and careers. Both pathways are suitable for students who may be undecided on their future career but who nevertheless may wish to undertake a single or joint honours degree in a specific humanities subject, such as Psychology, History or English.
