Access to University Class of 2024 Celebration

Lincoln College’s Access to University students graduated in a celebration ceremony at The Drill with friends and family – marking the achievement of the hard work and dedication shown during their studies.

Access to University courses (Access to HE diplomas) are a one-year, intensive, course designed to support adult learners in their progression to a wide range of degrees with the equivalent UCAS points as three A Levels.

Lincoln College works closely with higher education institutions, including our own degree provision Lincoln College University Centre, to ensure students are equipped with the skills they need for further study.

There is no upper age limit to study on the course - enabling those who have been out of education for a while or those who wish to change career direction with the opportunity to progress to further study at degree level.

Each Diploma is designed to fit alongside family and employment commitments so that adult learners can fully engage.

Pathways and subject options support progression to a variety of degrees, from careers linked to nursing, midwifery and paramedic science to subject specialisms such as English Literature, Business, Policing, Psychology, and Chemistry.

All subjects studied have higher education study skills embedded in the learning, developing academic writing, research skills, referencing, presentation skills and report writing.

Full support in applying to higher education through the UCAS process is also provided.

Robin Sisson, Curriculum Lead - Access to University at Lincoln College, said: “We are exceptionally proud of all of our Access to University students who completed today.

"They have all grown in knowledge and confidence over the course, producing extraordinary outcomes while also successfully balancing the varied and challenging demands of adult life.

"It is clear that the course has helped many of the students start to transform their lives, and we look forward to hearing about their next successful steps into university level study and future professional careers."

Most students apply for an Advanced Learner Loan to pay their tuition fees, which is then waived on completion of an undergraduate degree.
