Access to Higher Education Courses.

Our Access to Higher Education courses are one year long and designed as a stepping stone to a degree-level course (either with us or at university).

Our Access courses have outstanding success rates and are highly respected by universities, both locally and nationally. They enable you to progress to a degree course, something many adults feel they’ve left too late. It’s never too late! If you’re looking to change careers, but you need a degree to reach your dream role, an Access course helps you get back into education and achieve your goals.

Formal qualifications or experience are not required to study an Access course with us, however many university degree courses will require GCSE Maths and English at grade 4 or above, in addition to the Access Diploma. You can gain these qualifications with us at East Sussex College (for free!) prior to enrolling on an Access course.

Pre-Access courses are also available, designed to get you ready for the Access Level 3 course. These courses run in June/July prior to starting your Access course. These are ideal if you are returning to education after a number of years away, or you wish to refresh your skills vital to study at a higher level. Course fees apply. Apply via the college website by searching for ‘Pre Access to HE’.
