An access course, also known as an access program or foundation course, is an educational program designed to prepare people, usually those who may not have traditional qualifications or who have been out of education for a period of time, to enter to higher education. These courses are often aimed at adults or people who have not achieved the necessary qualifications (such as A-levels or equivalent) to enroll directly into a university degree programme.
Upon successful completion of Narh-Bita College Access Courses, students are awarded a qualification or certificate that holds recognition by Narh-Bita College. This recognition serves as an alternative route for these students to apply for various degree programs within the college. Meeting the specific entry requirements of the chosen program allows these students to seamlessly transition into their desired fields of study.
