Across our campuses in North and Mid Devon, we offer Access to Higher Education Diplomas in Art & Design; Childcare; Humanities, Education & Social Work; Nursing, Midwifery & Medical Science; Science; Teaching – Humanities Route; and, Teaching – Science Route.
These courses are specifically designed for learners aged 19 or over, who wish to take a university-level course but don’t have the normal entrance requirements for Higher Education. They are recognised by universities and other Higher Education institutions as an alternative to standard A-level entry.
There are many reasons why this route may suit you; you may be a student who has completed some qualifications and can show the right level of skill and maturity for this programme, or you may be a mature applicant who has not studied A-levels but possesses a wealth of experience in your chosen field. The courses provide a broad programme of study that includes core modules and more specialist modules that will enable you to progress.
Year after year, our students secure places at the country’s leading universities, on courses such as midwifery, nursing, psychology, paramedic science, sport & exercise science, optometry and many more.
Applicants aged 19 years or over who take out the Advanced Learner Loan do not need to pay anything upfront. If you complete your Access Diploma and then go on to complete a course in Higher Education, the remaining balance of your Advanced Learner Loan, including any interest on it, will be written off. You can get full information from Student Finance England. Alternatively, you can contact our Advice & Guidance Centre for advice and information on fees on 01271 852422/01884 235330 or visit
