Widening Access - Adult Education

If you are a mature student, adult learner or interested in learning in your community and want to try a short course for progression into the university, then we can help. We work with communities offering opportunities to non-traditional learners which are accessible​ and flexible.

Our short courses are open to all adults over 18 years old. However, priority is given to learners who:

• live in areas of multiple deprivation​
• have not accessed Higher Education opportunities
• are claiming Government Benefits (excluding child benefit)
• are on low incomes or facing ‘in work poverty’
• are a full-time unpaid carer or care leaver
• have been referred by one of our partner organisations.​​
