Tell us a bit more about your course
The Access Diploma in Combined studies is a course with mixed modules that allows students to progress to Higher Education. The first year was all about the basics of returning to study. In second year we get to choose from a variety of modules that interest us and those which are relevant to the course we wish to progress to. There are so many options available to us. I know students who are progressing to Nursing, Business, Paramedic Science and much more.
What do you plan to do afterwards?
I plan to study Business Management at Queen's University Belfast.
Would you recommend your Access course to other students?
Yes, I would recommend my course to other students! The lecturers are so supportive and helpful, the course modules are enjoyable and there’s plenty of opportunities for students after completion.
