STUDIED ACCESS TO HE SOCIAL<br />

GOING TO UNIVERSITY OF<br />
ABERYSTWYTH TO STUDY<br />
PSYCHOLOGY<br />
“I would not have been anywhere<br />
near as prepared for university<br />
without doing the Access to HE<br />
course. You learn how to write<br />
essays, do self-study and learn<br />
how to reference – skills that you<br />
wouldn’t get doing A-levels. I<br />
just didn’t have the courage to<br />
aim towards university when I left<br />
school. I feel more prepared for<br />
university in other ways now too.<br />
“I feel like I have more confidence<br />
and life experience and have<br />
learned budgeting and money<br />
management skills through working<br />
and saving money. I feel like<br />
waiting and doing it this way, I’m<br />
really set up for university and a lot<br />
more confident about it.”<br />

FROM HUDDERSFIELD<br />
STUDIED BUSINESS<br />
WORKING AT TGI FRIDAYS<br />
AND HOPING TO GO INTO<br />
MANAGEMENT<br />
“Studying HE at Kirklees College has<br />
given me great skills and opened<br />
my mind. It’s a smaller environment<br />
than university, so the teachers had<br />
time to help students in a more<br />
personal way.<br />
“The best thing about the course<br />
was what I learned has been useful<br />
in my work life. I would be happy to<br />
come back to Kirklees College. I’m<br />
hoping to finish my management<br />
courses and apply for a manager<br />
position.”<br />
