Natural Science refers to any science which relates to the physical world. Students who follow the Natural Science pathway will gain knowledge of Physics, Chemistry and Biology and gain the necessary skills needed to enter university.
This Access to HE Diploma (Science) pathway provides a combination of all three sciences, it is ideal for students who are still deciding which area of science they are interested in pursuing at degree level. After this Access to HE Diploma, students should be fully prepared to embark on a Biology, Physics, Chemistry or Natural Science related degree programme. As this Access to HE Diploma has been specifically designed for learners who have spent time away from education, it also includes units which help to develop academic writing and study skills.
With an Access to HE Diploma, there is no need to wait until September to get started. You can start studying towards this qualification at any time of the year. Furthermore, you won’t have to attend inconvenient classes which will interfere with your schedule. With distance learning, you can study at any time of day, in the location of your choice. This flexibility makes an Access to HE Diploma a perfect choice for learners with busy work and family lives.
The comprehensive course materials are interesting and easy to understand. Each student will also receive a broad range of additional information to support their learning. Everyone will also have access to our expert tutors who will provide guidance and support throughout the course.
How long it takes you to complete your Access to HE Diploma really depends upon how much time you are able to dedicate to your studies. The programmes are designed to give you the flexibility to study at times that are suitable for you, and to fit your studies around your other commitments. You will be provided with an Individual Learning Plan that outlines the submission deadlines for your assignments to keep you on track throughout your studies. An Access to HE Diploma can be completed within two years. However, on average, learners take 8 to 9 months to complete their course.
Your qualification will comprise a number of units. Each of these units will end with an assignment. Once you have completed the assignment to the best of your ability, you should submit it to a tutor. The tutor will then mark the assignment and return it to you with useful feedback and strategies for improvement. Once you have successfully completed all of the assignments in your course, you will be awarded with the Access to HE Diploma (Science), which is a nationally recognised Level 3 qualification, regulated by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). The Access to HE Diploma is worth 60 credits in total. 45 of these credits are graded units which focus on the three sciences. The remaining 15 credits are ungraded units which are included to help you develop your academic writing and study skills.
After you have completed your Access to HE Diploma, you will likely be primed and ready for undergraduate level study at the university of your choice. Once you have successfully completed an undergraduate degree, you will have many career paths open to you. These include but are not limited to careers in:
On successful completion of the Open College Network West Midlands Access to Higher Education Diploma (Science) you will receive a QAA recognised Access to HE Diploma at level 3 (QAA ref: 40008848. This course has also been assigned 60 credits.
Learners must have GCSE in both English and Maths at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent) or be working towards these qualifications. They also need to aspire to study a Science related degree at university.
Access to Higher Education Diplomas are widely accepted as an alternative to 'A Levels' for University entry and have a proven track record of helping students to secure a place on their chosen degree.
Learners should, however, be aware that Universities each apply their own entry requirements, and these vary broadly depending on the reputation and popularity of the university and of the degree programme that relates to your area of interest.
These variable admission criteria may include but are not limited to:
It is vitally important that each student investigates the entry requirements of a range of universities that they could practically attend to determine if the Access to HE Diploma, and units included in the course, will meet university entry requirements.
Students should complete this exercise as early as possible so that they can plan for which establishment they will be applying to, and start to work towards it.
Whilst we have the fullest confidence that the Access to Higher Education Diplomas are compliant and perfectly sufficient to form part of a University application, Stonebridge Associated Colleges will not be able to accept any liability for the inability of any Access to Higher Education student to secure an offer from a Higher Education establishment due to the variables involved.
