This course has been designed to be flexible enough to suit your needs, especially if you have personal, domestic or work responsibilities which need to be fitted around your studies.
Prospective students should have both GCSE maths and English at Level 4/Grade C or above. If a student has only one of these qualifications, there may be the opportunity to study maths or English GCSE alongside their Access course, but not both. We strongly recommend that GCSE English is obtained before the start of the Access course.
The course enrols twice in every academic year (in September and late January) and all classes are timetabled between the hours of 9.30am - 3.00pm, three days a week, with no classes during the school holidays. The course includes Biology, Sociology, Psychology and academic study skills. Teaching methods on the course are varied and include lectures, workshops, self-directed research and study, laboratory practicals and seminar presentations.
Reports, essays, exams, presentations.
