This one year, ‘Pre-Access’ course is designed to allow students to develop their skills in preparation for study at Level 3 Diploma level. Featuring two specialist pathways in either health or science, this Level 2 course will help in your understanding of the topics covered at Level 3 whilst also allowing you the time to study for a GCSE in English Language or Maths; which is required for entry at Level 3. This programme focuses on the humanities pathway, where you will study subjects such as human health and disease, substance misuse and critical thinking.
The course is assessed through a variety of task based
assignments which would typically reflect the skills required of you on both a
Level 3 Access to HE Diploma and also whilst studying for a Higher Education
qualification.

sector they wish to progress to or have experience that links to the course.
The course uses a variety of assessment methods which reflect the wide skillset required to be successful at Level 3 and higher. Typical assessment types consist of compiling reports, presentations, creating blogs, taking part in academic discussions and symposiums plus much more!
Students who successfully complete this course will be
prepared to progress on to a Level 3 Access to HE Diploma, subject to you

Further progression can see students entering Higher Education with a firm grasp of the skills and knowledge required for success.
