Case Studies
Jade
Studying Access to HE Science
I would not have been prepared for university without the Access course. You learn skills that you wouldn’t get doing A-Levels. I feel like I have more confidence and life experience – I’m really set up for university!

Studying Access to HE Social Sciences
The tutors have really assisted me with my studies and have always encouraged me to study. They’ve been really helpful in answering my questions and are very passionate about their teaching. They’ve always motivated me to keep going. Studying at Kirklees College develops you intellectually and I would recommend anyone to come here.
