Access to Higher Education Diploma
The Access to Higher Education (HE) Diploma is a qualification for adults (19+) years
who want to go to university but do not have the formal qualifications needed. It
is also for those who wish to change career or for those who want to improve their
qualifications, skills and confidence. Many students go on to study degree level programmes, such as psychology and business, or professional qualifications in nursing,
midwifery, paramedics and teaching.
The Access to HE Diploma is nationally recognised and widely accepted by universities,
with many encouraging applications from Access to HE students. At Worcester Sixth
Form College we have a close working relationship with the University of Worcester.

Course Cancellations
The College very much regrets having to cancel courses at short notice – please help us
to avoid this by enrolling at least seven days before the commencement date of your
chosen course. Minimum student numbers are required for courses to run. The College
reserves the right to cancel or combine a course due to insufficient recruitment and will
aim to give a minimum of two days notice. Students may be offered the opportunity to
transfer to a similar course which may be at a different time or day, or request a refund.
Fee Refunds
Refunds will not be made to students who, having enrolled, find the course unsuitable
or cannot otherwise attend, as these matters should be determined prior to enrolling.
Course Fees
Please make payment by credit/debit card, cash or cheque (payable to ‘WSFC’).
