The Diploma is designed for access to many HE courses both locally and nationally. Fortunately we have some excellent Universities here in Leeds. All the local Universities welcome our Access students. Leeds Trinity University, for example has a strong tradition of offering our students places for Psychology, English, History and Primary Teaching. We also have close links with Leeds Beckett University and the University of Leeds, who support the aims and objectives of the Access Diploma and increased participation for adult students. Students do not have to restrict themselves to local universities. They are encouraged to pick the courses best suited to their situations, needs and interests. If you are aged 19 or over and considering enrolling on a further education course at Level 3 or above, you may be entitled to an Advanced Learner Loan to help with course fees.
