Access to Higher Education

Access to Higher Education (HE) Diplomas are designed to fit around your lifestyle. The Diploma is available for adults aged 19+ and can provide a progression route to undergraduate study at college or university. Access to HE Diplomas are one year, full time or part time and are nationally recognised Level 3 qualifications, validated by the awarding body OCN (Open College Network). You may also be eligible for an Advances Learner Loan to help pay tuition fees.

My ambition is to become a Paediatric Nurse and the knowledge I have gained on my course work placement is a valuable opportunity to learn skills for my future career. Amanda Coutinho, Access to Higher Education Nursing Student
