    Couple on my course this year did the access course last year, Depends on how confidant you are in your subject matter you might be able to launch straight in to a degree course.

    I did the Access Programme!

    It's a great way to get into the course you want and ease your way in! :-) And you'll meet a great bunch of people as well.

    regarding the age - it's the same as if you were entering college through the CAO - ordinary Undergraduate Students and Mature students (23 yrs +) . I know the year I did this course, which is about 4 years ago now, that there was 30 of us and think there was only three mature students.

    but you can apply for a lot more grant's/ back to school allowance as a mature student since you are over 22 on that date

    Yeah but I am not eligible to apply as a mature student til september 2012 so that was the reason I was interested in the access course as I could apply to get into college rather than waiting 2 years to be classed as a mature student.
