Access to Higher Education (Humanities & Social Sciences)

"After being out of education since the age of 14, I returned as a mature student on an Access to Higher Education Health Studies course, with a long-held ambition to study literature at Oxford University. I later switched to a humanities and English-based Access course to follow this goal.

With hard work and the support of my teacher, Julianne Ward, I made strong progress and applied to study literature at several universities in the UK and overseas. I received multiple offers and, with Julianne’s guidance through the application process, secured a place to study English Language and Literature at Oxford University from September 2024."
