About HSDC
If you thought that you had left it too late to enter Higher Education (HE), think again! Access to HE Diploma qualifications are designed with you in mind and have helped to transform the lives of thousands of adult students.
An Access to HE Diploma leads to a qualification at Level 3 (equivalent to A Level) and are intensive courses that allow you to study part-time, whilst still working or meeting other commitments.
We offer Access diplomas at our Havant and South Downs campuses. Universities and other Higher Education providers fully recognise our Access diplomas as sufficient to meet the entry criteria for various degree courses.
In 2023, 57.9% of students completing an Access to Higher Education Diploma at HSDC achieved ‘high grades’ comparable to ABB at A Level, 18.7% above the awarding body average.
Overall, HSDC students gain more distinctions than other providers, whilst 19.3% of HSDC achieve the maximum 45 credits at Distinction. At HSDC, our part-time Access to HE courses allow you to proceed to university with superb grades in just one year.
