Much of what is on offer to Level 3 learners is already laid out in the previous section focusing on sixth form activities. We are aware that in some cases, vocationally oriented students may have subtly different needs and activities can be modified accordingly.

A number of activities are on offer to adults returning to education to support them with key decisions about what and where to study, and assist in making a successful transition to undergraduate level studies.

We host an Access Day every year, typically in October, where you can find out more about Access to Higher Education courses.

For many Access students, one of the barriers to realising university can be an achievable goal is not knowing what to expect. Our student shadowing opportunity allows them to spend the day with a current undergraduate student to gain a taste of university life. This opportunity is available by request and spaces in some subjects may be limited so early applications are encouraged.

A programme of activities has been designed to support both foundation degree and HND level learners to succeed within their respective study disciplines and to prepare them for the transition into university should they wish to attend a top-up year on to a Honours degree.
