Access to Higher Education: Education

Access to HE in Education is a specialist programme presenting you with the opportunity to study across a broad spectrum of teaching and education related fields.

Applicants must be age 19+ at the time of enrolment and have a minimum GCSE English & maths at C/4 or above and demonstrate level 2 diagnostics at enrolment. Previous academic qualifications are asked for on the application form and the interviewer must be satisfied that the candidate has sufficient literacy and numeracy skills to cope with the requirements of the course and the written components.

All of our Access to HE qualifications establish the foundations for further study and provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in your chosen field. The Access to HE course in Education (Primary and Secondary Education) consists of 13 mandatory units for the secondary education pathway that equate to 60 credits in total, and 13 modules for the primary education pathway that also equate to 60 credits. On both pathways students will undertake 2 ungraded units. There are no optional units on the proposed course, but there is still a good balance and difference between the units and different pathways.

Following the successful completion of an Access course, you will have the
option of either progressing to Higher Education or moving into full-time
employment. Should you choose to progress to Higher Education, we’ll provide you
with information, advice and guidance to help you apply for a degree that
meets your needs and career aspirations.
