Want to inspire, support and shape future generations? This course is a great starting point for progressing into higher education and careers in education. You’ll explore psychology, education studies, educational theory, sociology and history, building a rounded understanding of how education works and how it has changed over time.
You’ll study child development and inclusion, and learn how research and evolving needs shape modern classroom practice. Alongside subject learning, you’ll build the academic skills you’ll need at university - including academic writing, accurate referencing, understanding plagiarism, and the ethical use of AI. You’ll finish ready to take your next steps into an education-related degree.
The Access to Higher Education Diploma in Education is a Level 3 qualification licensed by QAA (Quality Assurance Agency) which is intended for learners (usually 19+) who do not have the sufficient qualifications or UCAS points to enter university learning directly.
This course is designed so that learners can develop their knowledge and academic skills needed to progress on university degree courses, either with us at East Lancashire UC or at another higher education institution.
