Access route
Structure
Access route: 2 courses
If you're applying for the Access route with the intention of proceeding to one of the degrees in Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences, you should choose your courses carefully. Consider the courses that are available on the degree that interest you and choose courses that are common to both the degree and the Access route. Upon successful completion of the Access route, you'll then receive credit for the courses you've passed.
When you have successfully completed the Access route you may complete, in a minimum of a further three years, one of the degrees in Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences. Transfer should be completed by 30 November in the year you complete the Access route, and you'll be required to pay a transfer fee.
