Left school early
No A-Levels or missing grades. Many universities accept experience and foundation routes instead.
Parents & carers
Flexible and part-time courses that fit around family life, with the maintenance support you're entitled to.
Career changers
Turn years of work experience into a degree that opens the next chapter of your career.
Armed forces veterans
Your service counts. We help you present it the way admissions teams want to see it.

FAQs
Common questions
Do I need A-Levels to apply?
No. Many UK universities welcome mature students (21+) without A-Levels. Depending on the course, you may be offered a place based on your work and life experience, through a foundation year, or after an Access to Higher Education Diploma. We'll tell you which routes are open to you.
What is Student Finance England (SFE) and can I get it?
Student Finance England provides tuition fee loans and maintenance loans for eligible students in England. Eligibility depends mainly on your residency status and whether you've studied at degree level before. Your age doesn't stop you applying. We help you check your eligibility and complete the application correctly.
How long does the application process take?
It varies by course and university. Some students receive a conditional offer within one to two weeks of applying; others take longer. Most universities have several intakes a year (often September, January and May), so there's usually an option that suits your timeline.
What is a foundation year or Access to HE course?
Both prepare you for degree-level study. A foundation year is an extra first year attached to a degree at the same university. An Access to HE Diploma is a one-year qualification, usually taken at a college, that is widely accepted by universities in place of A-Levels.
