I have just finished the access course at Bournemouth and Poole college with 27 credits out of 45 at distinction, as long as you're work is well written and you put the effort in its not too hard. Unfortunately though I didn't get in to either Bournemouth or Southampton but will reapply next year. I do know though that Bournemouth have only asked for 24 merits in their offers, don't know what the other uni's want though.
