You will need to progress in three terms to a level where you will be able to cope with first year degree work. To achieve this the course will help you develop your intellectual and learning skills and give you a sound knowledge base. This will require from you a major commitment of time and effort over and above the attendance at classes. It starts in September and ends in June of each year. Attendance is part-time and the course may be completed over one or two years.
Most students choose the one year course.
You can attend Access classes either in the daytime or the evening. The particular half days may change after the first term, depending on which options you choose. If you prefer to spread the course over two years, you should plan to attend for 3 hours weekly, but it may not be possible to timetable these on the same half day. For the evening course you will be asked to attend on both Wednesday and Thursday evenings. In addition you will be invited from time to time to attend university lectures or special guest lectures to supplement your studies.
