What will this qualification give me?

Successfully completing an Access to Higher Education (HE) Diploma with Academy Online Learning will award you a recognised Level 3 qualification, which is accepted by universities and higher education institutions across the United Kingdom. You will have the opportunity to study towards one of two pathways: the Access to HE Diploma (Health Science Professions) or the Access to HE Diploma (Business).

The Health Science Professions diploma is particularly suited to students aiming for careers in fields such as nursing, midwifery, paramedic science, physiotherapy, radiography, and other healthcare-related professions. On the other hand, the Business diploma provides a strong foundation for those interested in pursuing degrees in business management, finance, marketing, human resources, and even areas such as politics and international relations.

The Access to HE Diploma not only equips you with the academic knowledge needed for university study, but also develops your critical thinking, research, and independent learning skills — all essential for succeeding in higher education. It acts as an entry qualification, equivalent to A-levels, enabling you to apply for a wide range of degree programmes across the UK.

Academy Online Learning ensures that the course is delivered in a flexible, online format, allowing you to balance your studies alongside work or personal commitments. With full tutor support and a structured learning environment, you can confidently take the next step towards achieving your academic and career goals.
