On Tuesday 29 March, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Sajid Javid, set out the next steps for living with COVID-19 in England from Friday 1 April.
Updated guidance advises:
For education and childcare settings from Friday 1 April:
Access to Higher Education (HE) Diploma pathways are especially designed for adults who have had a break from studying but are now planning to enter higher education. The Access to Higher Education Diploma provides subject knowledge and helps to develop your confidence and study skills, whilst also opening up new career possibilities.
If you aspire to attend university but havent yet met the formal entry requirements, embarking on an Access to Higher Education course could be the beginning of your academic journey. These one-year Level 3 courses delve into a broad subject area. Upon completion, students gain the foundation to move into a more specialized degree program within that field at University. Our Access to Higher Education courses are available in a range of different pathways to suit your progression needs.
Further information on our various Access courses on offer and the application process are available on this page.
Access courses are designed for Mature students (19+) seeking to return to education and individuals exploring a career change or a new professional path.
The Advanced Learner Loan covers the full course cost. Notably, Access to HE is a unique course where the student loan doesnt require repayment, provided the learner successfully completes their undergraduate studies.
We will be launching our fully online Access courses. These will be available in multiple pathway choices and offer the opportunity for you to study at your own pace and to suit your work and life commitments. Fully online with the added value of support when needed, if you would be interested in this new course, please contact us on [email protected] for further details and to register your interest.
