Course content

To achieve the Access to Education Studies Diploma, students must achieve a minimum of 60 credits, 45 of which must be achieved at level 3 (most units have a value of 3 credits). The Diploma includes GSCE equivalences in maths, science and English (which most universities require) and also incorporates study skills, education studies, sociology and a selection of humanities units. Students have the option to study maths at Level 3.

Teaching and assessment

The course is assessed through a combination of written assignments, exams, oral presentation and project work and students will be also required to carry out teaching observations. Students build a course work 'portfolio' which is submitted to the external moderators early in the summer. Much of the course work is delivered through tutor lectures. Students should allow approx.10 hours a week for self-study/homework.

Entry requirements

To apply for Access to Education Studies you must be aged over 19yrs and have a genuine commitment to study full time. Although no formal qualifications are required, you must achieve Level 1 in your numeracy and Level 2 in your literacy admission tests and will also be required to produce a piece of Level 2 'free writing'. All students are interviewed.
