Access to HE programmes are designed to enable mature students who may have no formal qualifications, to gain entry onto Higher Education courses. They welcome people who have been out of education for some time but have gained life-experience and now want to return to study. There are no formal entrance requirements just basic literacy and numeracy skills.

Access Programmes are especially designed, delivered and time-tabled with the needs of the mature student in mind. One year full-time and two year part time programmes are available, with flexible timings to fit in with other commitments.
