Access to HE Diplomas are for people who wish to enter university but who do not have A-levels, or who last studied a number of years ago. There are no entry requirements. They are equivalent to 3 A-levels and are accepted by almost every university. Most careers now require you to complete a degree and this the ideal starting point, even if you have no prior qualifications.

All our Access to HE Diplomas are fully accredited through Ascentis (our Access Validating Agency (AVA)) and regulated by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), so they are part of the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF). This means that you can apply to Universities, Teacher Training Colleges and Nurse Training Schools using your Diploma.

Access to HE Diplomas are expected to take about 1 year to complete although some complete quicker and others slower. There are no exams. You work at home at your own pace. Your friendly subject-specialist qualified personal tutor supports your learning with one-to-one tutorials and helps you with any problems or concerns. There are also Webinars and Group Tutorials.

Our Access to HE Diplomas are perfectly suited to meet university entry requirements and also prepare you for undergraduate study. This results from 30 years of experience providing Access to HE Dipomas by distance learning, and our strong relationships with universities. Our students have gone on to study degrees at over 140 of them across the UK. We also help with your UCAS Application.
