Course programme
Throughout the academic year students will gain credit via a continuous process of coursework assessment.
A variety of formal and informal assessment techniques will be employed including written essays, case studies, debates, short stories, research projects and presentations.
The goal of the course is to develop the skills necessary for study at degree level. Therefore the natural progression is onto a Degree programme in English, History, Sociology, Psychology or a related discipline. Past students have progressed on to careers in teaching, youth and community work, public administration, counselling and other graduate careers.
This course is aimed at students who are 19 years old and over, have not attained a Level 3 qualification in the past and are intending to go on to university to study an arts, humanities or social science subject. No formal qualifications are required however communication and numerical skills will be explored during the interview process. If you would like to apply for this course, you must first attend an Access information session. You will not be able to apply for this course online. To book on to one of the information sessions please email or contact 01792 284282.
