Fastrack: Preparation for Higher Education

... United Kingdom
... Edge Hill University

Course Overview

Fastrack is an intensive, seven-week preparation for higher education programmes for adults. Comprising of one week of preparation and six weeks of full-time study, it is designed to enhance your subject knowledge, introducing you to key elements in your chosen degree subject. Fastrack also takes the fear out of the academic study by training you in essential skills such as academic reading and writing, note-taking, revision techniques and an introduction to IT. The programme is free of charge to UK students.

Successful completion of this Fastrack course will enable you to be considered for a place on a degree in your chosen subject at Edge Hill University, in lieu of achieving the UCAS Tariff points in the entry criteria for the relevant programme, although places on specific degrees are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.

General Eligibility

Formal entry qualifications are not typically required to join this Fastrack course. However, if you are educated to GCSE standard this would be beneficial. If you can show that you are committed to studying for a degree and demonstrate the skills and potential, for example through relevant work/life experience, then we will offer you a place. An interview forms part of the selection process.

All Fastrack applicants must demonstrate a level of competency in written English. This can be shown through GCSE English or GCSE English Language at Grade C or Grade 4 or above, or Level 2 Literacy or equivalent, prior to the interview. In lieu of this, we will test your competency in written English as part of the recruitment process.

To study Secondary Mathematics as your Fastrack subject, an AS Level (or equivalent) in Mathematics is required.
