Access to HE Diploma (Business Management)

To test your knowledge and to ensure you’re ready for university study or a new career, assessments take place throughout the year.

You can expect a unique blend of essays, group discussions, projects, presentations and more formal assessments, for you to showcase your new skills and abilities.

Former students have gone on to universities across the country, studying a range of degrees from Sociology to Psychology, to other fields such as Business, Finance and Event Management.

Access to HE qualifications have also been used to kickstart careers in numerous roles found in Business.

For former student, Tul, studying with us enabled him to go onto a Politics degree at the University of Kent:

“One piece of advice I’d give someone considering studying an Access to HE course is to really be sure it’s what you want to do. Be focused, organised and prepared for a lot of hard work. It’s changed my life for the better.”

Trips to universities, both locally and further afield, are designed so that you explore a range of higher education options first-hand, understand what student life looks like, and meet those studying your degree of interest.

In addition to trips, you’ll also be further prepared for your next steps by taking part in social action projects across the campus during Community Weeks. Not only do these boost your personal growth, but you’ll give back and impact Ashford for the better.

This course is only for students aged 19 or over.

It lasts for one year, and you will need to spend two to three days a week in College.

You may be eligible for an Advanced Learner Loan, which will fund your studies with us.

When you complete a degree at university, this Advanced Learner Loan will then be written off by Student Finance England, meaning you won’t need to pay this back.

Please contact us or visit an Open Day for more information about fees and funding and to discuss eligibility.
