Access to Higher Education

If you’ve been away from education for some time or didn’t quite achieve your College qualifications, an Access to Higher Education programme will give you the confidence and skills to take that next step to start a degree or equivalent University level course. 

Buxton & Leek College is proud to be part of the University of Derby, which is particularly beneficial for our Access to Higher Education programmes. You can study an Access to Higher Education Diploma at the University of Derby Kedleston Road Campus in Derby. These programmes are between 2 and 3 days a week classroom-based, with additional personal study time required.
