The All Wales Access to Higher Education programme is aimed at mature students (usually aged 18+) who wish to return to education after a break or are looking for qualifications for a change of career.

Of the 270 students who successfully completed the programme last year, 231 gained places at university – these included midwifery at Swansea University, physiotherapy and midwifery at King’s College, London, clinical psychology at the University of East London, paediatric nursing at Bristol University, business at London Metropolitan University, English at Bath University, history at Portsmouth University and business at Munich University.
