Access to HE

Access to HE

Access courses are designed for people who may not have the conventional educational requirements to enter on to a higher education course. The course will enable you to acquire the skills, knowledge and confidence to compete on an equal footing with students starting degree programmes through conventional entry channels like A levels and BTECs.

If you successfully pass your Access course, you will be guaranteed a place on a relevant honours degree course at CU Scarborough.

Additionally, a student loan is available to those aged 19 and over, so there are no upfront costs.
