We are incredibly proud to announce another year of successful results for our Access to Higher Education Learners. Even with the challenges that the cohort faced, the results they have gained are phenomenal.
All 17 learners achieved the full Diploma with three achieving the highest award of 45 Distinctions and three not far behind with 42 Distinctions. This is an amazing result and we would like to congratulate both the learners and the tutors.
Back in March, our tutors and learners had to swiftly adapt to remote teaching and learning. This enabled our learners to continue with their studies albeit in difficult circumstances. Their resilience shone through and is evidenced in the fantastic results confirmed by Gateway Qualifications earlier this week.
Whilst they wait for confirmation of their first choice University, we can share with you the range of exciting degrees they have chosen:
- Forensic Science
- Bio-veterinary Science
- Social Work
- Building Surveying
- Molecular Biology (Genetics)
- Teaching
- Midwifery
- Biological Sciences
- Psychology
- Adult Nursing
- Law
Learner Feedback
‘I just wanted to say a massive thank you for this past year. I have achieved something I don’t think I would have ordinarily achieved if I had stuck with the ‘conventional’ routes to university and I will be forever thankful that I came to ACL. Thank you so so so so much!!!’
Emily, ACL Essex Access to HE Learner – 2020
‘I’ve waited 20 years to go to university and I’m so overwhelmed that it’s finally going to happen for me. Thank you for everything, Paul. Most importantly your patience (lol) and your humour made class something to look forward to.’
