Access to HE provided me with the confidence, key skills and qualifications to complete my degree. Seeing the change it can have on your life encouraged me to keep going and has had a very big influence on my career.

The course prepared me for higher education. The course attracts a diverse range of students and that prepared me well for entering higher education as a mature student.

The University of Northampton’s mission is transforming lives and inspiring change and that started with my journey as an Access to HE student. The Access Diploma certainly transformed my life and it has profoundly impacted on my role as Vice-Chancellor.
