thanks for your help! my college doesn't give much information on how it's assessed which is what I was mainly worried about, I've had a look at the uni's i want to apply for so got some idea now. interviews in a week or so 
Good luck, I am sure u will be fine!
When I went to my interview I thought I would never get in... You will be surprise to find out you're much better than you think you are. That's the thing about us 'mature' students, we lack confidence... But hopefully the access will help us develop it!

Firstly congrats on your results to date.
Then putting any individual colleges to one side.
The rest of the above I am afraid does not bring me any comfort at all. The highlighted aspect being especially distressing at face value. But whilst I sadly believe it is partially true, I believe it could be interpreted in a reciprocal manner, at least partially.
I am very interested to know the following.
For Access and or A levels, self funded
Percentage completing Access / A levels.
Percentage getting offers.
Percentage getting offers at their institution of choice.
Percentage actually starting Uni, indicating they received offers they subsequently met. (I have seen this data by subject)
Percentage completing the degree.
For Access and or A level, state funded
Percentage completing Access / A levels.
Percentage getting offers.
Percentage getting offers at their institution of choice.
Percentage actually starting Uni, indicating they received offers they subsequently met. (I have seen this data by subject)
Percentage completing the degree.
There is a waiting list for new Ferrari's, they still have product and they still sell it and they still inform their potential customers of what they will get if they buy one.
I cannot imagine any circumstance in which I would commit my own funds to something I did not understand the specification of, whether that be a camera, a car or a course of study.

Depends obviously where you would want to go to university, like if we wanted to go to Imperial College or UCL, there not the biggest fan of the Access Course, I would of already covered the entry requirements for the course. It seems they would rather set offers based on A-Levels, which they stated at interview, due to the funding issues. They get more for ££ for grade A+ students, so you cant really blame them. At the same time, self learning A-Levels are okay if your self disciplined. I actually find Access alot harder to do then A-Levels.

I had not heard this before, I am amazed. I guess that rules out a return to a distribution curve basis for A level grades, as only 5% would get the big bucks grade. It also explains why Unis that were EE to CDD standard offer when I first applied now want ABB, AAB or even AAA. The former two being Nottingham, Manchester, Durham, St Andrews LSE and dentistry territory and the latter the Oxbridge. Med school and Vet College zone.
I cannot comment on A levels v Access in terms of difficulty, as I have done neither the modern A levels or Access. I was able to see in some detail what my son covered in A level Maths, and Physics, Chemistry and AS F maths but I will leave slumbering dogs undisturbed.

Hi everyone! I'm a mature student by a few months
I applied to study an Access to Social Sciences course last week and I'm waiting to hear back from them. I will also be studying a fast track A level in french alongside this course; I did my GCSE quite a number of years ago so at the moment I'm familiarising myself with all the vocabulary and grammar with the intention of getting back up to GCSE level come September.
I'll be commuting to study the A level (3-4 hour drive in total two days/ evenings a week - eek!) and working two days so I really hope I can pull it off at the same time. Compared to those of you who are living independently / juggling jobs/ raising children, my situation really is nothing in comparison!
I know it's still probably early days, but have any of you decided/ thought about which universities you would like to apply to? Still trying to get my head around the entry requirements for my course (French and Spanish) - I'm hoping to achieve mostly merits and distinctions on the Access course and an A in french but I'm struggling to find a safe bet uni, as certain universities ask for a pass in access BUT alongside an A in french, whilst others are happy with a B in french, with a high number of distinctions and merits. I can't win!
Anyway, best of luck to you all. It will be nice to share all our experiences and to console each other along the way!

Hi ya!
I started an Access to Science course on January and I am/will cover:
- Level 2 (Just for GCSEs equivalence)- Maths, Chemistry and Physics
- Level 3- Biology, Biochemistry, English, Psychology, Sociology and Study Skills
I did not chose any of the subjects, and If I could choose, I'd dicth Sociology and do Chemistry level 3, but unfortunately I can't.
Having said that, I am very happy to be a student again and I recommend the Access course!
I hope to apply to UWE for adult nursing, my aim is to be a nurse specialist.
I need 30 level 3 credits at merit, I will work hard to achieve that, I will try to my best and get the best possible grades each time.
When I was going to do my Access course, I wanted to chose different subejcts, i.e. - physics, advanced maths, bio, chem
Then I went into a few lectures (when u start your course you are free to come to all subjects, sit, listen for a while and then make the final decision which ones to go with). It was a good decision. I feel in love with Sociology and Psychology and it was a good thing, because in the end there weren't enough people to continue with physics and maths so I would have to hurry in choosing an alternative subject and I would have been lost if I hadn't decided to give those other ones a go.
To sum up - if you want to go for languages, you probably will have lots of freedom in which subjects to choose, so I recommend to give all of them a go.
when I started my Access course I wanted to do nursing. Then I feel in love with Soc & Psychology and looking forward to study combined honours of these two from October this year
good luck. I'm sure you'll love and enjoy it !

Hey guy, just wanted to offer some encouragement to anyone embarking on an Access Course for 12/13. I'm currently midway through one now and although it can be difficult juggling the assignments it is a very doable course.
The best advice I can offer is to aim high. There isn't a single university in the country that won't consider you. I've been offered places from great institutions such as Uni of Manchester, Leeds, Bristol and Loughborough. Even the thicko's on my course have somehow managed to gain places at Kings, Soas, Brunel and Bath so aim high, put together a great personal statement and get them Merits and Distinctions in early as it eases the burden later on.
Any questions feel free to ask (quote me). Best of luck

Other than that, all other unis have said it would be okay. So I'm gonna do the access course and apply to four unis with Durham twice, once on a regular degree and once as extended lol
(edited 12 years ago)
Original post by los lobos marinos
Well I've found one (Durham) who said the access course probably would not guarantee admission even if all modules/units were distinctions (I've spoken to the admissions tutor on the phone). They said this was due to high demand for limited places. They suggested that I did one their extended degrees instead.

Durham will except it if your application is good enough, I'm sure they were just letting you know how competitive their courses are. Or possibly nudging you in the direction of their extended course to boost foundation applications. Either way if you're good enough you should get an offer.
Why so keen on Durham?

I want to be challenged. My PS is already done and I believe will be good enough lol. Also, they do the exact course I want (combined honours psychology, sociology and one subject from something like social anthropology, politics or philosophy - undecided as yet as I need to look through each module to verify content)The only other universities that allow me to combine these subjects as an exact match are Exeter and UEL. There are several others that do near matches and are on my shortlist.
What degree are you going to study?
Congratulations on your offers!!!

Durham are not anti access, they are one of the few who state how they map access grades to A level grades. But there are folks being rejected this year with AS A*A*AA and predictions of A*A*A* and in one case A*A*A*A* for A2. Yet other folks have AS ABCD and offers of ABB. Applications were 5% up against a sector decline of 7.6%, which bucks the trend by over 12%. So I agree with the poster who said they are simply telling you how competitive many of the courses are. Any Uni that responded "yes we accept access" not being upfront about how competitive some of their courses are, Durham could have said the same and not offered the additional info. Thier honesty will probably count against them with some readers. They could have equally said sorry but AAA will not guarantee you an offer for History, Geography, Natural sciences and Physics, which are really insane. Anthropology less so.
One advantage is that their foundation years are taught at their own specialist foundation centre, like wise Nottingham do the foundation course on campus with Uni staff and facilities. Others like York and Leicester send you to a local college (in York's case this is quite a distance from the Uni on a bus), to be honest 9K to spend a year at the local tech college seems a bit steep to me, where as on campus foundation seems a bit more reasonable in terms of value proposition. However you still get to use the Uni facilities like the Union, Library and other social aspects etc.
I now have the challenge of finding a gown for September that will go all the way around me and yet not drag on the floor.

Well done on receiving those offers! Your post is very reassuring, especially as I'd also like to apply to Manchester and Bristol... I have been having doubts as to whether I'd be aiming too high as my other three choices are very competitive as well, but I guess there is no harm in trying, and giving it my all
Hey guys, glad to see my thread picked up a bit since I've been unactive. Glad you're all mostly doing well.
Long story short I have ended up postponing my education, I got invited back to the college I originally wanted to go to to re-take the tests which I anxiety'd up, but I ended up cancelling, I've got quite a few personal circumstances that are getting in the way, including the fact I might be kicked out soon and have to move out the area, so I've decided to wait and re-apply next year if everything goes well, I'm not giving up, I still want to go to uni eventually, at this rate I'm looking at 2014 entry at least, but I just have until my circumstances get sorted out.
Good luck to you all, though.

Sorry to hear you've been going through a difficult time. I myself have been to, but have decided to keep pushing on to start an Access to Sports Science course in London in september, although, funding it is becoming a bit of a challenge. However, I'm not going to let this deter me... I know if I don't do it now, I might not get another chance and would hate to wonder what it would have been like to do it. Also, the course has been the thing that has kept me going recently, and I'm looking forward to it.

Sorry to hear about your tough situation - I would imagine it would be incredibly hard to juggle an access course alongside these problems, and the extra year would allow room for plenty of preparation.
I, myself, have been debating about whether to enrol on to the Access course for a number of years and after masses of research I've finally decided to go for it - I have decided exactly what I want to study now, after changing my mind quite a few times. I think it's important to feel completely ready to start studying again, rather than starting for the sake of getting to university quicker and thus not being able to put your all in to it. As I can see you're still very young too
I hope things get sorted for you and wish you all the best!
Hi all
I'm soo desperate to do a business & computer related degree so have been scouring for Access courses that fit the bill.
Anyway, I have found one that really appeals to me & cover 15 credits Mathematics which is really good. Except.. I emailed Manchester (not actually my 1st choice, my third in fact) to ask if the Access course was suitable, as well as my B's in GCSE English Lit & Lang and that I am now studying GCSE Maths again to try & get the B I want.
I received a reply back saying No, that even though the course is Level 3 in some important areas of computing, it doesn't have 15 credits in Maths AND 15 credits in a Science. That's not all
If I want to do any of the 3 degrees which I had my eye on (IT & Business, Computer Science & Management or Computer Science) then as well as all the other requirements, I will also need an A Level in Maths with a pure element.
I am so totally deflated by this now. I haven't heard anything from my 2 first choices (Liverpool & Lancaster), but now I am worried sick. There is no Access course that combines both Maths & Science in the whole of the North West, and I couldn't find time to study an A level (especially maths
) as well as an Access course (I have 5 children!!).
I will be heartbroken if this is the case for every Uni, I really feel that I will have to end my dream & just go with what I can. It just seems so unfair when I know that I am perfectly able & know more about computers etc than my IT technician neighbour!!
Anyway rant over. Just thought I would let off steam and ask if anyone has been in a similar situation?
x
EDIT: Forgot to add, that I studied an Access course for nearly 5 months a few years back (I was diagnosed with Crohn's after a loooong stay in hospital & couldn't catch up), in science actually & did really well, I got over 85% in all work I did (I surprised myself), but with it being over 3 years ago I couldn't transfer my science credits over. So frustrating
EDIT (Again): I have just found out that there are, indeed, Science & Maths courses quite local to me. Only problem is, these will not accept anything less than 5 GCSE grades A*-C. Arrgh. Is anything ever straightforward ??

Visit the OCR website for your region and they will list all the access courses and combinations available within your region. Maybe you will find one that does the necessary unit/module/credit combinations.
Alternative solution:
You could try applying for an extended degree such as this one for computer science for example:
Computer Science with Foundation
A number of universities offer that type of programme.
I didn't find out about this until too late. So I'm still going to start my access course this September to improve my study skills and learn the basic level 3 requirements relevant to the extended degree programme. Then this autumn I will also be applying, via UCAS, for the extended degree with the universities where this is necessary and for a regular 3-year programme for the universities that have advised me the access course is fine.
My preference though, is for the one that requires the extra year. Extra work I know. But it's my first choice.
Good luck
(edited 12 years ago)
Yes, I have to agree with you there, I think I too would prefer the extra year. However, I am limited if taking the only one available to me, because there are only a certain amount of degree pathways that it leads to & none of them are really what I want to do
I am really hoping that Liverpool & Lancaster both accept what I have & I may even try squeezing in an AS level Maths for extra measure, maybe start that soon, I don't know. Think I may be a little confused studying GCSE maths & A Level maths at the same time
Luckily, the exact requirements that Liverpool ask for are completely met by this course I want to do, so that is a relief, I just hope that I can stand out from the rest of the people applying, as I know there are around 300 entrants for only 29 places
I think what you have suggested, where I could apply on UCAS for the standard degrees but add foundation also, is a very good idea, thank you so much I feel immensely relieved that Manchester was kind of a wild card.
I am central to a lot Universities which is lucky, but I really want to aim high. Whilst I have nothing against, say, Liverpool John Moores or the University of Chester, I would much prefer The University of Liverpool or Lancaster as I think employers would look upon these in a much higher regard than the others mentioned.
I'm a little excited now
Just hope it all works out...
I wish you all the luck, I am sure you will do fantastically well!! x

Hi guys!!
Would you be able to help me please?
I am looking for an Access to science or health professions in London( but I am a happy to travel if I dnt find anything in London) PART TIME or evenings as I work I've looked into South Thames College but I am not prepared to pay £5k for a year course .
I am also considering the online course but I 've never heard of anyone that did online apart from the feedbacks on the website "accesscourseonline" ...anybody?? I wonder whether Universities would recognise online qualifications such as science.I was told to do an access to science or health professions but they didn't specify...

Would you be able to help me please?
I am looking for an Access to science or health professions in London( but I am a happy to travel if I dnt find anything in London) PART TIME or evenings as I work
I've looked into South Thames College but I am not prepared to pay £5k for a year course .I am also considering the online course but I 've never heard of anyone that did online apart from the feedbacks on the website "accesscourseonline" ...anybody?? I wonder whether Universities would recognise online qualifications such as science.I was told to do an access to science or health professions but they didn't specify...
Thanks in advice for any help

Hi,
So, does the fact I've already been to Uni stop be doing an access course?

No of course not, lots of people on my access course already have degrees. It might affect your student finance for university though.
