Course summary

This programme aims to develop the skills and self-confidence in learners necessary to progress to their chosen course in higher education or profession. The aim of the course is to give mature learners (19 years and over) a second chance at education by developing personal confidence and achievement, the ability to study, and guidance to help decide their future. The course will provide a thorough grounding in the key concepts and theories you will meet during your further studies or training. You will gain an insight into a variety of subject areas and support is offered to you if you are wanting to apply for university. Teamwork and oral skills are promoted through group discussion during seminars, which helps prepare you for employment by encouraging interaction with colleagues.

Entry requirements

A GCSE at grade 4 (C) or higher in English language. If you do not have this above, you should consider completing our part-time Pre-Access courses in Humanities first.

How you'll be assessed

The course will be split into modules which are individually assessed. Later modules build on the skills developed in the earlier ones. Assessment varies depending upon your subject choices. The course director will give you further information about assessment on the pathway you choose. There is a great deal of time and support given by the programme lecturers to build confidence and success rates for all students.
