Access to Higher Education - A Second Chance for FREE!

Our Access to Higher Education Diploma gives you a second chance if you missed out on education for whatever reason.

Our Access to Higher Education Diploma gives you a second chance if you missed out on education for whatever reason.

After the course 60% of students go straight to university, others change career and all describe Fircroft as a life-changing experience.

Unlike other courses, our Access course doesn’t leave you in debt. All students get a grant which doesn’t have to be repaid, parents can get their child-care costs covered and some will also be eligible for an Adult Learning Grant.

The course is modular which means you can influence the content of your course. The main focus is Social Sciences/Humanities.

Delivery is full-time from the end of September to May. Tutors encourage active learning, and work in class is backed up by workshops, tasks and tutorials.

Students age from 20 to 70, come from all over the UK and bring a wide variety of experience and perspectives. What they have in common is a commitment to learn.

The college has an outstanding reputation for student support. This includes financial, learning and personal support.

There are no formal requirements to get on the course. Instead we assess your readiness for the course in terms of literacy and numeracy, your ability to think and how motivated you are. Click on how to apply for more detail
