Access to Higher Education Diploma: Health

• Access to Higher Education courses are designed for adults who would like to study at university but who currently don’t have the qualifications they need, such as A Levels
• The Access to HE Diploma is offered by providers and accepted by universities throughout England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland
• Through Access courses students can achieve the Access to HE Diploma, awarded by One Awards, which is regulated by QAA (The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education)
• Each year around 40,000 students enroll on Access to HE courses across England, Wales and Northern Ireland
• One Awards works with providers to award the Access to HE Diploma; over 2500 students each year are registered on the qualification with a view to progressing onto Higher Education or employment
• The Access to HE Diploma is funded for students aged 19-23 without a current level 3 qualification. Those aged 19 and above can apply for an Advanced Learning Loan to cover the course fees and, if students successfully complete their HE course, it will be written off
• To be awarded the Access to HE Diploma students must achieve units totaling 60 credits, 45 credits are from graded units at Level 3 and 15 credits are from ungraded units at Level 2 or 3
• Assessment is internally set, flexible and tailored to individual student needs. Units totaling 45 credits are graded Pass, Merit or Distinction to help students demonstrate to universities the standard they have achieved. The remaining 15 credits are ungraded.
