Access to HE

For those who took an access course, what college did you go to, what did you study and what uni did you get into? Can you recommend good colleges? I'm looking to study comp sci @ Manchester or Notts and I need a course that has at least 15 credits in Maths. I applied to Newham College but I couldn't find any info online

Any college that accepts the advanced learner loan is preferable. That course has more than enough credits, I just checked.

It does but the emails they send me have poor grammar so I'm a bit concerned about the teaching quality. Southwark College also has a maths + comp sci access course so I'm looking into that. Do you know any other ones?

University of Sussex east Hastings is where I’ve done my course. It’s online so never been to the actual college.

I’ve gotten three university offers from 2 unis.

I did a science and healthcare professions course, and my offers were:

Keele Uni MPharm - 30 credits of distinction, 15 merit + 15 ungraded credits.

Keele uni MPharm with prepatory year- pass course

UEA MPharm with prep year- pass course

Let me know if uu have any questions
