Access courses are validated by means of a &#8216;Kitemarking&#8217; system recognized by Higher Education&#8217;s own quality assurance organisation, the QAA, and a Pass at Access is an excellent preparation for mature students wishing to go on to undergraduate study.<\/p>\n<p>We are an active member of the bodies which award the Access &#8216;Kitemark&#8217; in the South of England and Wessex areas. This keeps us up to date with the academic needs of mature learners and helps us to smooth the path between preparation and your degree.<\/p>\n<h4>Non-Standard Entry Arrangements<\/h4>\n<p>You may not need to have completed an Access course or hold traditional school qualifications. Non-standard entry arrangements are available for applicants who already have certain appropriate skills and subject knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>You will need to complete an assignment to help us assess your level of subject knowledge and study skills. If you apply for your degree this way you may be able to attend a short preparatory course offered at the Bishop Otter Campus during the summer before your degree programme starts.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tNext Steps\n\t<\/h2>\n<h3>\n\t\tReady to get started?\n\t<\/h3>\n    <p>For further information about joining a course at Chichester as a mature student please contact Admissions on <a href=\"tel:+441243816002\">01243 816002<\/a> or <a href=\"mailto:admissions@chiuni.ac.uk\">admissions@chi.ac.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"mailto:admissions@chi.ac.uk\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEmail Admissions\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mature Students Mature students decide to study for many different reasons, including improved job prospects, making a fresh start or purely for interest in a subject.
