Access to Higher Education Diplomas

Intro

Do you want to study for a degree but don't have A Levels?  

Access to Higher Education Diplomas are a nationally recognised qualification, equivalent to A Levels, which are accepted for entry to most university undergraduate degree courses.

Studying one of Ruskin's Access to Higher Education Diplomas can help you to take the first step towards gaining the degree you need to pursue a career in nursing, healthcare, social care or social science.

You can complete your studies in less than a year; our career-specific courses are offered for 33 weeks, based on 15 hours of teaching per week, allowing you to fit your studies around your existing commitments.

Our courses are open to anyone normally resident in the UK. To arrange an informal chat or tour of the College, please contact our team via phone: 01865 759658.

You may also be eligible for help with paying for the course - we can advise and help you access funding.
