Access to Higher Education

You can obtain the academic credit and the study skills you need to enter university and succeed on your chosen degree course thanks to our Access to Higher Education Diplomas.

Education has the power to transform lives, and our Access courses exemplify that, providing a route into university for adults without the right formal qualifications or traditional academic backgrounds.

Our Access students are an exceptional group of people who are both motivated and determined, and at Brock we match that commitment by pledging to provide dedicated and experienced teachers.

We realise that returning to education can feel like a big step, which is why we give you specialist pastoral support to ensure you make an easy transition back to the classroom.

Small class sizes, a dedicated Access Progression Advisor and strong links with local universities make Brock the perfect place to take your first step towards your ideal career.

You will also meet likeminded learners and enjoy being part of diverse and supportive classes as you develop into a confident self-directed learner.

Importantly, successful completion of an Access course will demonstrate to universities your ability to switch paths through hard work and determination.
