• Entry requirements
  Entry requirements Access courses are open to adult learners who have sufficient motivation, literacy and numeracy skills. No GCSEs are required but all Access to HE applicants complete an initial diagnostic test to determine if an offer of a place on the Access to HE programme can be given. On the basis of this diagnostic test we may suggest you undertake a 'Pre Access course' namely the Progression Diploma, if we feel this would be of benefit.
