What is Access to HE?

Similar to A-Levels, an Access to Higher Education (HE) diploma is the equivalent to a full Level 3 qualification. Around 40,000 students take advantage of this alternative entry route to university every year. Access to HE Diplomas can be completed in one year studying at our Plymouth, Bristol, and Manchester campuses. It will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to succeed at university.

If you didn’t gain the necessary qualifications to get into university or you’re not sure what career path that you would like to take, an Access to HE Diploma is a great way to get you on the right path.
