Distance Learning:
To be eligible for a place on an Access to HE Online programme, you must have GCSE English and maths grade 4 (C or equivalent) or above, or a Functional Skills level 2 qualification.
You will have a numeracy and literacy assessment to check your suitability to study at Level 3. Don’t worry, most students are successful in the assessment process and we have recourses available to help you prepare.
As this is an online course, it is not possible to study maths and/or English at an Activate Learning college alongside the main qualification.
Classroom Based:
No specific qualifications are required for our classroom-based Access to HE courses*, however a GCSE English or maths at grade 4 (C or equivalent) would be beneficial. Applicants are advised to contact their university of choice to confirm the Level 2 maths and English criteria.
You will have a numeracy and literacy assessment to check your suitability to study at Level 3, and may have the opportunity to retake either a maths or English GCSE alongside this course. Don’t worry, most students are successful in the assessment process and we have recourses available to help you prepare.
