People who studied Access to HE, what uni did you go to/ which did you get into?
I’ve been told to start applying in September when I start my course but I don’t know where will even accept me.
(I’m doing humanities and social science if that makes a difference).

I have nearly completed mine, acess to he science. My actual advice would be dont. If you have any ideas of like RG unis and lets be honest why shouldnt you? they wont even acknowledge your existence. Foundation degrees you can get on there... but why? you would honestly be better off doing the alevels and seeing what you get,

I am going to UCL this September and have had offers from various very good universities. Someone else has an offer from Cambridge (Foundation) too. My point is that many decent universities will consider your application if you have good grades to accompany it. I am not entirely sure if the user above is a troll or not, but they talking complete nonsense.

I am not trolling and I stated which acess I did before commenting so that anyone else looking at doing the same acess course could read my response.
With acess to humanities it seems you can get onto a history degree with merits and distinctions.
For stem and anyone reading wishing to do stem this is not available. Engineering etc will always request a levels on top of the qualification.

Hi from where did you complete your access course

Did Access to HE on the Science pathway, got into Bristol (Russell group Uni) for medicine.

Not sure where some of the comments are coming from. The whole idea of Access courses is to get mature students into University.
