Access to Higher Education

The Access to Higher Education (HE) Diploma is a U.K. qualification which prepares students — usually mature students — for study as an undergraduate at university. The diploma is designed for people who would like to study in higher education but who left school without qualifications such as A-Levels. Once completed, the access diploma is held in the same standing as A-Levels, allowing holders to study for BA degrees, BSc degrees, HNCs, HNDs, LLBs and other undergraduate degrees.
