Student Story
"My journey is proof that it’s never too late to pursue your passion, and Sparsholt offers the ideal environment to do just that."
Sue, Access to Higher EducationThis course prepares learners aged 18 or over who want to study at degree level, but do not currently have the qualifications to apply. This course is specifically designed to give
you the foundation skills and knowledge, with a strong science focus, for studying a land-based degree
In order to support your application for higher education, we recommend you attain as much work experience in the field as possible. Places at universities are extremely competitive, so ensuring you give yourself the best chance at success is critical.
If you are aged 19 and over you can apply for an Advanced Learning Loan to cover the cost of your tuition fees, should you then go on to complete a full degree then the Access element of your student loan will be written off. So do not let money hold you back.
