Access to HE Business and Law - Level 3 Overview

If you want to become a business leader, barrister, solicitor or criminologist, the Access to HE Business and Law pathway is your first step. This pathway fuses together two very closely related fields and has a broad range of progression routes. This course is specifically designed for adults (aged 19+) who have been out of education for some time and want to re-engage with education or make a career change. Whether you want to go on to university or simply learn something new, this is the course for you.

We assume no prior knowledge of law, business or academic skills; these are built upon over the course of the year’s study.

Cambridge Access Validating Agency (CAVA) designs and validates Access to Higher Education Diplomas. To find out more visit www.cava.ac.uk
