Getting into Warwick via an access course

I’m 17 & intend on doing an access course

Why?
Access courses are not designed those who can still go to 6th Form.

Access courses are designed for people who have been out of study for a few years, so I agree at 17/18 you would be better off looking at AL’s, either as a private candidate or at a sixth form that will take you.

Whilst uni’s may state that they accept access courses, the reality is that they may not accept the specific one that you are looking at for ACCYFIN or whatever similar course you want elsewhere. The only way to be sure is to contact her Uni in question with specific details. Otherwise their websites tend to keep things vague. AL’s may keep more doors open.

Thank you vm. Warwick do explicitly say for the course I’m looking at (management bsc) that they can accept relevant access courses at a high enough grade. I would still much prefer to do A levels but my problem is that pretty much none of them want to enlist me because…I’m too old (that sounds crazy to say at 17)!

I also don’t have any money to pay to do them as a private candidate either. It costs upwards of thousands of pounds for the exams alone, let alone for the school terms which often come at a cost in the range of 20k+ for full time, in-person learning. Unless I can find a sixth form which can accept me without paying out the nose this way, I don’t think I’ll have a choice but do do an access course in business & accounting. Is there anywhere you could recommend me looking for a sixth form which will enlist someone my age?
