Access to HE at Stockport College

An ‘Access to HE’ Diploma course is designed to allow adult learners to progress on to Higher Education study as quickly as possible.

The Access course is a full Level 3 programme, studied in a single academic year, for anyone aged 19 or over. This is in comparison to equivalent Level 3 courses which usually take two years to complete.

In addition, the Access courses are designed specifically to prepare students for Higher Education, whereas many other courses also focus on employability skills.
